SciShow Space takes you on a tour of Mercury, the sun's closest friend, where a year is just a day and half long, and the surface holds many surprises -- like ice!

Several companies are already working on plans to mine space objects, but who owns what in space?

What happens when you send a duck, a rooster and a sheep with monkeys and dogs into space? Scientists had to find out -- and for decades, they've been studying life in space with the help of some crawly, wiggly, fluttery, furry friends.

Scientists have thought for awhile that pulsars could be used as a sort of galactic positioning system, and astronomers have published the most advanced topographical map of Titan to date!

According to a new model, days on Earth used to really fly by, and today Pluto has wind-swept dunes made of very weird sand.

Astronomers have some insights into the mysterious disappearance of the luminous blue variable star in the Kinman Dwarf Galaxy, and we're digging up more clues about how our friend the Moon may have formed.

From what we know about Titan, it seems like its atmosphere should have disappeared millions of years ago. So, why hasn’t it?

The American space program wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for the contributions of a scientist who was also a former Nazi. Learn about the life and work of rocket scientist Wernher von Braun.

Earth's thick crust might one of the reasons our planet can support life. But scientists are looking for something a little more brittle.

This week on SciShow Space News, astronauts had to take the scenic route to the ISS because of some space debris. And this month, you might get to see two eclipses: a solar eclipse, and a rare supermoon eclipse.

Hank fills us in on the four exploratory missions to space that he is most excited about - New Horizons is going to Pluto and the Kuiper belt; Juno is on it's way to Jupiter; Dawn is exploring two large asteroids; Rosetta will land on a...

Earlier this month, a Chinese moon rover discovered a mysterious glittery substance at the bottom of a lunar crater. How did it get there? Also, Comet NEOWISE takes thousands of years to circle the Sun, and right now we can see it in our...

Scientists first saw patches of ice on Mercury 20 years ago, and that discovery raised a lot of questions: How could ice survive on one of the solar system’s hottest planets, and how did it get there in the first place?

Researchers found surprising new evidence hiding in data captured back in 1997, and we've discovered stars forming in a distant galaxy as early as 250 million years after the Big Bang.

The big question in the comments last week was, "BUT WHAT ABOUT ECLIPSES?" Today, Phil breaks 'em down for you.
