This week, researchers are getting ready to learn about earth and Mars, in places that you might not expect.

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.

Learn how to set up and solve a genetic problem involving multiple alleles using ABO blood types as an example!

You can aspire to great things in life, but how about in death? Could you be one of the world's greatest fossils many years from now? To ensure being found by a future paleontologist, you'll need to die in a highly specific way (think...

What if traffic flowed through our streets as smoothly and efficiently as blood flows through our veins? Transportation geek Wanis Kabbaj thinks we can find inspiration in the genius of our biology to design the transit systems of the...

Schiaparelli crashing into Mars wasn't exactly what the Exomars mission scientists were hoping for, but we're still going to get some useful information from the little probe's descent. And scientists have observed two of the brightest...

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been teaching us about the moon for a decade now, and it's still going! What we’re learning from it will make space exploration and future moon missions much easier for future astronauts.

A new telescope, the DKIST, has given us our most direct look at the Sun ever, in the highest resolution yet. And a paper published last week has revealed how “the dunes” auroras may be more than just a new spectacle in the night sky.

Two years ago we were very excited about the announcement of water on Mars, but some new research challenges that idea. And one of our most successful exoplanet finding tools has discovered another one, this time pretty close to home!

Asteroid 3200 Phaethon got closer than it will be until 2093, and the reflecting light has astronomers puzzled, and the relationship between black holes and magnetic fields is now a little more clear.

Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and Space Telescope Science Institute for supporting this video.



This video is about the cycloid curves on Jupiter's moon Europa - they're ridges or valleys...

Watch the miraculous journey of infant sea turtles as these tiny animals run the gauntlet of predators and harsh conditions. Then, in numbers, see how human behavior has made their tough lives even more challenging.

How close could you get to the sun using today's spacesuits or spaceships? Find out in today's episode of SciShow Space!

Here's a sneak peek at three missions coming up in 2018. We have rockets launching, spacecraft arriving at their destinations, and missions coming to an end.

There's a lot of talk these days about when and how we might all move to Mars. But what would it actually be like to live there? Mari Foroutan details the features of Mars that are remarkably similar to those of Earth — and those that...

Some animals live in pretty extreme places, but the lava cricket might be the most hardcore of them all. These crickets have only been observed right after volcanic eruptions, and scientists have questions, like “How does a flightless...

A launch window that only happens every 26 months means it’s the perfect time to head to Mars! The United Arab Emirates, China, and the United States all took advantage of this excellent timing.

Have you ever wanted to know what it would be like to have an army of hopping robots? NASA might bring that dream to life as we explore our solar system.

NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts program has funded a slew of new space mission concepts! Which one is your favorite?

Denizens of the Deep

Scientists are learning new things by looking at the remains of exoplanets, NASA has unveiled a new spacesuit design, and engineers fixed a problem from one hundred million kilometers away.

According to two new papers, Mars may have gigantic drinkable glaciers and we might have found the reason that galaxies glow.

InSight has safely landed on Mars, and astronomers have some improved theories about the TRAPPIST-1 system.

Why do people supposedly see a woman in pictures sent from Mars by the Curiosity Rover? For the same reason that people see Pepe the Frog in their toast, or Jesus in a tortilla: a phenomenon known as pareidolia.
