Remember those old space movies where spaceships had to maneuver through a bunch of asteroids scattered around and blocking the path of the ship? Well, that's not really true. The asteroid belt contains asteroids which are so far apart...

The stars have guided and entertained us for thousands of years. Here we explore some of the messages people have seen in the stars through the millennia and look forward to how we might relate to the stars in the future.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space-based observatory and the most powerful and advanced telescope ever launched into space. Named after the NASA administrator who pioneered the Apollo program, the Webb Space Telescope is...

The Hubble Space Telescope, launched on April 24, 1990 by the Space Shuttle Discovery, has revolutionized astronomy and captured the imagination of people around the world. Hubble's launch quickly turned into disappointment when it was...

It’s widely accepted that nothing can escape a black hole, not even light, but that's not entirely true!

I read 104 books in 2021. Here are some of my favorites!

Astrophysicist Scott Tremaine, Institute for Advanced Study, describes his initial lack of interest in astronomy, how a keener sense of how our understanding of physics can be applied to the heavens made him change his mind, and what...

Astrophysicist Scott Tremaine (Institute for Advanced Study) reflects upon the contemporary relationship between theory and experiment in fundamental physics.

Sometimes, the acceptance of a lack of knowledge is far more valuable than conjecture. That being said, let’s talk about what we do know, because regardless, it is very weird.

Physics Quiz. 5 Popular questions answered. Can you solve these questions?

Why do spaceships heat up when entering earth but not when exiting?, Why can I touch aluminum foil in the oven and not get burned?, Why are we able to see...

This video is a lecture on the topics of gravity and orbits. The speaker starts by discussing how objects in orbit remain in orbit due to the gravitational force experienced from other celestial bodies. They then explain how the...

The video explains the concept of redshift and blueshift in the context of galaxy movement and how it relates to the shift in wavelength of light emitted by a galaxy. The video then shows how to use an equation to calculate the shift in...

How do you test quantum mechanics with ancient stars? A new experiment aims to close loopholes to the iconic "Quantum Bell Test", with new results published in Feb. 2017!

The video discusses how stars are classified based on their color and surface temperature. The narrator explains the concept of luminosity, which is the total energy emitted per second by a star, and how it differs between different...

This video provides a detailed overview of the structure and location of our solar system, including the orbits of different celestial bodies and the gravitational forces that keep them in place. It also explores the location of our...

The video discusses the relationship between orbital speed, orbital radius, and orbital period of objects in space. It explains how to calculate orbital speed using an equation and provides examples such as calculating the orbital speed...

Physics Girl astrophysics series - Brown Dwarfs are among the most recently observed objects in the universe. They have at MOST 8% the mass of the Sun. The lower mass boundary is not known! So they are halfway between stars and gas giant...

Dark Matter is one of the biggest mysteries of our universe. It makes up more than a quarter of our universe, but what is it? And how do we know it's there? Find out about dark matter in this video.

You've probably heard the term Dark Matter, but what is it, and how do we know it exists?

This video is a lecture on the Hertzsprung Russell diagram, which is used to understand the brightness and temperature of stars. The narrator explains the classification system of apparent magnitude and how it is used to compare the...
