Glitter: use it for even the most modest of arts and crafts projects and days later you're still finding it stuck in your hair, behind your ear, and all over your clothes. But how are these little plastic disks so sticky?!

Asteroseismology allows scientists to explore stars with sound. It can help them figure out what a star is burning and even help pin down the age of stars!

On SciShow News this week, Hank explains how it can rain on the sun and dives in to findings from the NASA twin study!

SciShow News explains the latest climate weirdness, and why the Global Warming Hiatus wasn’t really what it sounded like. Plus, see how humans have harnessed the climbing power of the gecko!

You may have read that 2018 is looking to be a bad year for earthquakes, but Hank is here to offer you some assurances.

On July 14, 2015, New Horizons flew by Pluto. Scientists have used the data from the mission so far to uncover active geology, an enormous canyon, a unique case of chemical coloration, and more. What else might we discover as we venture...

Dawn is spiraling in for a closer look at Ceres, and researchers have discovered the best evidence yet for active volcanoes on Venus. Plus, check out Venus and Jupiter right next to each other in the sky!

The elephant is a creature of epic proportions -- and yet, it owes its enormity to more than 1,000 trillion microscopic cells. And on the epically small end of things, there are likely millions of unicellular species, yet there are very...

So we know what life needs here to work, and we've talked a little about what life COULD look like on other planets. But what about plant life? What could plant life look like on other planets? In this episode of Crash Course Kids,...

SciShow News gives you some wet and weird developments from around the solar system, including new insights about what liquid lurks under the surface of Titan, and a sweaty comet that's been spotted on its way toward the sun.

The Gaia space observatory released a detailed 3d map of the Milky Way, and scientists have figured out why Charon's north pole is red!

Hank talks about astrobiology - the study of and search for life in the universe off Earth. Right now, the field has more questions than answers, but all they all seek to answer that one fundamental query: are we alone in the universe?

It’s not easy to find active plate tectonics on other worlds, but doing so may bring us one step closer to finding a planet that can support life.

A waterfall that seems to just disappear into the ground sounds pretty unbelievable, but scientists are still bewildered by the mysteries of Devil's Kettle Falls.

Our universe is not a very diverse place when it comes to shapes. Large celestial bodies become spheres, galaxies become discs, and there is little room for variation. Why is this? Well it turns out physics has some pretty strict rules...

These days it seems almost trivial to cool atoms down to near absolute zero temperatures in a lab, but what is the lowest possible naturally occurring air temperature on this planet?

Scientific discovery often dabbles in the extreme, challenging and exceeding what we think of as "possible." And this year's discoveries were no different! We present to you three scientific discoveries made this year that set out to...

3 Ways to Prevent Hurricanes (Maybe)

On a cosmic scale, Mercury isn’t very far away, but it's incredibly hard to get there. Getting into orbit around it takes years of flybys in the solar system, but we're going to do it again!

One could say that snowflakes are simply frozen water — but if you compare a snowflake to an ice cube, you’ll notice a big difference. Why are all snowflakes six-sided? Why are none of them exactly the same? And how do we ski on them?...

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

Cicadas have developed an amazing strategy for growth, survival, reproduction, and overcoming predation by...doing nothing. They do nothing for years (except sip at the juice excreted from root structures) before emerging in huge,...

Jessi and Squeaks explore nature’s way of letting off a little steam.

It's easy to take things at face value in video games. But when we take a deeper dive into the physics in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, it seems that the "MOON" might be one of those things that isn't quite what it seems. Given its...
