Elon Musk's SpaceX program proposes that 100 people could be sent to colonize Mars within 10 years. What might that colony look like?

This year, science news has understandably focused a lot on COVID-19. But other science has carried on, and there have been plenty of amazing discoveries this year that we think deserve a spotlight, too!

We may have found another interstellar asteroid and scientists have some new ideas about how Saturn's moons got their weird shapes.

What causes the Blood Moon?

When you picture a rocket, you might imagine a giant ship carrying lots of fuel, people and supplies. But what if the next wave of spacecraft were small enough to fit into our pockets? Dhonam Pemba details the future of microspacecraft,...

Hank dishes out updates on the mutant flu virus and the James Webb Space Telescope, and gives us some new bits about new exoplanets, secret space planes, and a study that shows that music evolves according to Darwin's rules.

SciShow Space News shares the latest developments from around the universe, including NASA’s plan to build the world’s most powerful rocket, and the fate of Russian geckos sent to have sex in space.

The dark side of the moon is full of mystery, and according to some, evil robots, but, in 1959 Luna 3 was able to shed some light on it for the first time.

Over the course of history, we've discovered hundreds of thousands of asteroids. But how do astronomers discover these bits of rock and metal? How many have they found? And how do they tell asteroids apart? Carrie Nugent shares the story...

It’s becoming harder and harder to categorize moons as moons.

Jupiter has a bunch of asteroids that are trapped in two specific points in its orbit!

We're used to talking about planets as spherical objects, but a donut-shaped planet is theoretically possible. What would life be like on one of these?

New discoveries into two weird things that may have played havoc with the ancient solar system: dark matter and a wandering star.

Hank gives us the skinny on three plans NASA scientists have come up with to save Earth from an asteroid impact. Hopefully we'll never have to use any of them.

NASA’s Magellan mission gave us unprecedented insight into Venus’s rocky surface, and even now, more than 25 years after the mission ended, it’s still one of our main tools for learning about our mysterious, next-door neighbor.

Did you know Einstein never thought we’d find actual black holes in space? It took decades of research to show black holes are physically possible, and some of the scientists behind that research were honored this year with the Nobel...

In the early days of spaceflight, if NASA needed to plot a rocket's path or confirm a computer's calculations, they knew who to ask: Katherine Johnson.

The satellite launched in February, but in March, it malfunctioned, spun out of control, and broke into pieces. The mission was declared a failure. But! Before it failed, Hitomi managed a couple days' worth of observations.

This video is about the orbital mechanics of why it's so hard to crash into the sun - the energy it takes to get there is astoundingly high, compared with leaving the solar system.

This video is about how the way we describe the world can influence the way we perceive it. In particular, with regards to Bohmian mechanics, Schrodinger wave functions, Feynman path integrals, and Galilean...

This video is about how Albert Einstein made a mistake when applying the Field Equations of General Relativity to cosmology (in particular, to a static, constant density universe), and solved the...

No astronauts were harmed in the making of this video.

From problems with the moon, to the lumpiness of earth, sea levels aren't quite as exact as we have them figured out to be.
