A paradigm shift in geology occurred with the development of plate tectonics, a theory which allows us to understand so much regarding what we see and experience on Earth's surface. How did this come to be? Who is Alfred Wegener? Who is...

In this video, we explore the fascinating world of compasses and the Earth's magnetic field. We learn how a compass works, pointing us in the direction of the Earth's magnetic north. This video is part of the 11-part series, Earth, Sun,...

In this video, we explore the fascinating relationship between electricity and magnetism. We discover that a simple electric wire can exhibit a magnetic force, as demonstrated by the movement of a compass needle when brought close to it....

Upon viewing the Magnets and Electromagnets video series, students will be able to do the following: Define a magnet as a material that attracts iron and materials containing iron. Explain that magnets have a north pole and a south pole...

Scientists have moved one step further to decoding the secret behind the superior navigation skills of pigeons. A new study by scientists at Baylor College of Medicine published in Nature found neurons in the pigeon's brains react to...

From lunar samples brought back in the Apollo program, scientists have figured out that the Moon once had a shield around it called a magnetosphere, just like the Earth has today. As NASA prepares to send humans to the Moon, and...

Europe experienced one of the most remarkable periods in history roughly between 1550 and 1700, when three of history's most important events were occurring simultaneously: the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution....

Astroscale launched the world's first test satellite that uses magnets to gather up and dispose of orbital debris.

A massive storm over the Sun discharged the largest solar flare in three years on Sunday, No. 29. <br/>

Sea turtle | Ocean Literacy | FuseSchool Turtles play an important role in keeping the oceans healthy. They keep balance in food webs by eating jellyfish and grazing on seagrass beds. Their presence keeps coral reefs healthy and cycles...

A new type of sensor developed by researchers could lead to artificial skin that could help burn victims "feel" and help protect workers.

There are 10 types of energy. Magnetic, the energy in magnets, electromagnets and the Earth's magnetic field. Kinetic, the energy in moving objects, like this bullet out of a gun. Heat, which is also called thermal energy. Light, the...

A new study has confirmed a longstanding theory that the Earth’s crust tilted like a yo-yo 84 million years ago. Scientists call it the ‘cosmic yo-yo’.

NASA GSFC solar scientist Holly Gilbert explains a computer model of the sun’s magnetic field.



Grasping what drives that magnetic system is crucial for understanding the nature of space throughout the solar system:...

Earth’s magnetic field acts like a protective shield around the planet, repelling and trapping charged particles from the Sun. But over South America and the southern Atlantic Ocean, an unusually weak spot in...

Launched in 2007, NASA's five THEMIS spacecraft have now successfully completed their 2 year mission to determine the cause of geomagnetic substorms. Because they are continuing to work perfectly, NASA is re-directing the outermost...

The sun's magnetic field spins opposite directions on the north and south poles. These oppositely pointing magnetic fields are separated by a layer of current called the heliospheric current sheet. Due to the tilt of the magnetic...

This video is answering the question of how does a compass work.

This video explains the concept of magnetic fields that form around current carrying wires. It defines magnetic fields and how they are represented by magnetic field lines, which indicate the direction and strength of the magnetic field....

NASA satellites use very sensitive devices called magnetometers to measure the magnetic fields of planets. Like very sensitive compasses, these devices can measure both direction and strength of planetary magnetic fields. <b<b<br/>r/>r/>

According to Einstein, whenever massive objects interact, they produce gravitational waves -- distortions in the very fabric of space and time -- that ripple outward across the universe at the speed of light. While...

👉 Learn the basics of graphing the secant and the cosecant graphs. Recall that the secant is the reciprocal of the cosine while the cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine. Also recall that the cosine graph is a sinusoidal graph with...
