- How that atmosphere changed t<br/>o be suitable for life
- The processes responsible for features of the earth we see today

We are working our way through the Phanerozoic eon, and we got through the Paleozoic era. Next up, the Mesozoic era! In this era we see the rise and fall of the dinosaurs, those beloved beasts. How did this come to pass? What can we say...

The video discusses how the Earth's atmosphere has evolved over the past 4.6 billion years, with a focus on the composition of gases present over different periods of time. It highlights the role of volcanoes, oceans, plants, and fossil...

In this video, viewers are taken on a journey back in time to early Earth. The video provides a fascinating glimpse into the conditions that made early Earth inhospitable for human survival.

Paul Andersen discusses scientific evidence of the origin of life on our planet. He begins with a brief discussion of the age of the earth and ends with the future of humanity. He includes geologic, chemical and molecular data.

Step into the Mesozoic era, often called the Age of Dinosaurs, spanning over 150 million years from the Triassic to the Cretaceous period. This era saw the rise of dinosaurs, the flourishing of coniferous plants, and significant...

If we are going to learn about the Earth, we had better start from the beginning! The Hadean, Archean, and Proterozoic eons will take us all the way from the formation of the Earth, 4.6 billion years ago, until about half a billion years...

In which John Green, Hank Green, and Emily Graslie teach you about our Sun, and the formation of the planets. We're going to focus on the formation and development of the Earth, because that's where people live. You'll learn about the...

The video discusses the history of the Earth's atmosphere and how it has changed over time. It explains the theories and evidence scientists have used to hypothesize these changes, from the early atmosphere being similar to that of Mars...

The video explores the mysteries of high energy astronomy, focusing on gamma ray bursts and their origins. It discusses the evolution of our understanding of the universe, from debates about the scale of the galaxy to the discovery of...

This video explores the complex workings of Earth's climate and how it is changing due to factors such as greenhouse gases and ocean currents. Using virtual tools and satellite data, scientists are predicting the future evolution of the...

Despite the incredible variations of life we see today, at the fundamental level, all living things contain three elements: Nucleic acids, Proteins, and lipids. These three things had to have been present in order for...

Launching in 2029, NASA’s Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission will bring a rich suite of instruments to Venus to address long standing questions...

Five years after NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft entered into orbit around Mars, data from the mission has led to the creation of a map of electric current systems in the Martian atmosphere....

Scientists have long suspected the solar wind of stripping the Martian atmosphere into space, a process that may have turned Mars from a blue world early in its history into the red planet that we see today. In 2014, NASA's...

The Earth is billions of years old and was once a very hostile place. Eventually, a single cell was formed that evolved and reproduced. What conditions produced this first life on Earth? Biology - Cells And DNA - Learning Points....

Delve into the characteristics of the biosphere, the sphere of Earth that encompasses all living organisms. Learn about biomes, ecological communities, and the vital role of life on our planet.

The Astrophysics Pioneers program is funding four innovative new missions that read like a best-hits album of the most exciting astronomical frontiers: from galaxy evolution and exoplanets, to neutron star mergers and astroparticle physics.

In this video, we explore the early stages of Earth's formation and the gradual cooling process that led to the creation of continents. We learn about the absence of continents and oceans in the first billion years, the continuous...

NASA officially is beginning work on an astrophysics mission designed to help unlock the secrets of the universe -- the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST).
