Some toothy tigerfish have been documented catching unlikely prey in the most unlikely of ways: snatching birds right out of the sky.

How do spacecraft survive the enormous heat and crushing g's of re-entry? And why don't astronauts actually land in rockets, like they do in cartoons and comic books? SciShow Space explains!

SciShow Space News explains two of the Hubble Space Telescope's most important discoveries, and why the MESSENGER probe is about to crash into Mercury.

We might be sitting next to the largest bomb in the galaxy and NASA's InSight lander will touch down on Mars this Monday!

Before we had rockets like the Falcon 9, we had other ideas of how we might shoot for the moon: space guns!

Venus is a gorgeous naked-eye planet, hanging like a diamond in the twilight -- but it’s beauty is best looked at from afar. Even though Mercury is closer to the sun, Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system, due to a runaway...

Mars One. The Mars Rover. Bruno Mars. Mars Bars. It's pretty clear we're OBSESSED with the idea of Mars, especially in regard to it being a potential colony for earthlings. But is that really the best option? Is there a better place for...

This week on SciShow Space News, we finally find out what’s causing those dark lines on Europa. Plus, learn how to become space-famous!

Our neighboring star Betelgeuse got noticeably dimmer a few months ago, and thanks to the Hubble telescope, we recently figured out what was going on. Also, the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico suffered some damage this week.

Thanks to some amazing scientific insights, we know a lot about the interior of our planet - even though we’ve never even made it through the crust.

Spacebit is sending crawling, jumping, mini-robots to the moon, and researchers have witnessed a pulsar emit a very cool combination of traits in its most recent flare.

Earthlings have been searching for alien life for centuries, and more than a few times we were confident that we'd found evidence, but to err is human after all.

In which Hank celebrates the landing of the Mars Curiosity Rover which you know was pretty freaking cool. So here are the Top Five Coolest Things about the Mars Curiosity Rover!

Hank tells us about NASAs discovery of the 1st planet ever discovered to be orbiting a binary star.

People have suspected that Earth rotates for thousands of years, but how did we first prove it?

What went wrong with SpaceX's Falcon 9 on September 1st? And an update on our old friend Philae!

NASA has announced the scientific instruments for the Europa Clipper mission, and Cassini has passed Hyperion, the so-called “spongy moon,” for the last time.

Many researchers believe that all the water on Mars dried up, but some evidence suggests that it might have dried in.

The Sun is getting brighter and the planets in our solar system that are habitable are changing.

Weathering breaks down rocks and creates sediments which become the raw materials for other rocks and the formation of our soils. And we call the process of moving that sediment erosion. In today's episode, we're just going to focus on...

Last week, an asteroid impact drill was conducted, which demonstrated what might happen if an asteroid hit us within the decade. It didn't go quite as well as we would like.

NASA has proposed a mission that would land on Europa to search for signs of life & we've learned something sad about one of our neighbors, Proxima b.

Children's toys can help teach kids about colors, shapes, and imagination. But it turns out they've also inspired scientists and engineers for centuries, leading to innovations in medical diagnostics and space travel. So,...
