In the past decade, astronomers have discovered interstellar objects, including a 2014 meteor that collided with Earth and 'Oumuamua in 2017. These objects, moving too fast to be bound by the Sun's gravity, have sparked questions about...

What do we do to protect ourselves from extinction level events? And what if some of those events are unavoidable? Can we survive adrift in space? Find out in this episode of Space Time.

If you take a look at all the impact craters in our solar system, the vast majority are nice, neat circles. But why? Meteorites and asteroids strike planets and moons at all sorts of angles. Where are all the elliptical craters?

What do you see in clouds? Bunnies? Zombies? The face of Nic Cage? There are some kinds of clouds that, while rare, make even weirder shapes -- like pancakes, rolling cylinders, and shimmery rainbows

Hank counts down some of the science superlatives from 2013: the first, biggest, strongest and longest things that were discovered, built or otherwise described. Find out his year's superlatives. They're the best!

Scientists may have discovered some clues to two vastly different anomalies. Microscopic diamonds inside of meteors, and why ancient black holes are so massive.

SciShow explores two celestial mysteries: the origins of a meteorite that crashed into a house in California, and who's releasing chemicals into the atmosphere that were banned more than 25 years ago?

Have you ever looked up at night and seen a streak of light flash across the sky? Some people call that a "shooting star," but it's not actually a star at all! Join Jessi and Squeaks to learn what shooting stars really are and how they...

That asteroid the headlines have been warning people about isn't likely to actually hit us, and scientists might have solved a mystery that could save lives: the relationship between tides and earthquakes.

In this episode of SciShow, Hank explores what we now know about the meteoroid that streaked across Russian skies on February 15, 2013.

It's virtually impossible to tell where a meteorite comes from, but in 2018, scientists were able to pull a feat of forensic astronomy and do just that.

Sugars aren’t just for munching and crunching, they also make up our genetic code! So what does it mean to find sugars INSIDE meteorites?

Giant disks around baby stars filled with gas and dust provide the material to make all sorts of planets, and new evidence proves that our solar system’s had a massive gap in it! And the water vapor in Jupiter’s moon, Europa, might not...

Today Phil helps keep you from ticking off an astronomer in your life by making sure you know the difference between a meteor, meteorite, and meteoroid. When the Earth plows through the stream emitted by a comet we get a meteor shower....

One of the hardest places to explore in space is actually pretty close, some call it the ignorosphere.

Learn about how one Japanese startup wants to offer meteor showers on demand, and how this will affect our scientific study of the mesosphere.

There's one crater that may be older than any that we know of. Except there's a snag, it might not actually be a crater at all.

You might not know it, but there are thousands of human-made satellites orbiting the Earth! They help us do everything from study the climate to make phone calls, and there are even some satellites that people can live on!

Sabrina gets a new set in this episode of Crash Course Kids. Do you want to be an astronaut? Would you like to someday walk on the moon? Well, you better learn a little about gravity so you can escape from Earth and head into space....

Maybe you've seen a shooting star, a bright streak of light that zips across the sky! But did you know that those shooting stars are actually rocks falling from space? And sometimes you can find them on the ground! Find out how...
