In this quick, fun talk, astronaut Cady Coleman welcomes us aboard the International Space Station, where she spent nearly six months doing experiments that expanded the frontiers of science. Hear what it's like to fly to work, sleep...

Did you know some astronauts live in space for months at a time? Join Jessi and Squeaks for a tour of the International Space Station and learn what life is like in low gravity!

On May 28, 1959, two monkeys named Able and Baker became the first monkeys to go to space and make it back alive. Miss Able was a rhesus monkey from Kansas, and her crewmate Miss Baker was a squirrel monkey from Peru. They were tucked...

This was what happened to a bottle of Château Pétrus Merlot that spent a year aboard the International Space Station which was later auctioned at Christie's - reported at a price tag of over $1 million! You won't believe what exposure to...

Multidisciplinary approach to developing next-generation space weather modeling tools, with the goal of a five-day forecast capability



Description: While Earth's weather reports center on precipitation,...

NSF-funded mechanical engineers at Brigham Young University have brought science fiction to life with a new technology called developable mechanisms that allows them to build complex mechanisms into the exterior of a structure without...

Extreme isolation is something our greatest explorers have faced in varying degrees. Now, a team of six NASA recruits have begun a year-long mission on the desolate side of a barren Hawaiian volcano that will simultaneously test the...

Orbiting 250 miles above Earth, astronauts aboard the International Space Station explore farther into our solar system and work on thousands of studies that will help us back here on Earth. Join ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut...

From launching probes to ferrying experiment racks to the ISS, the Space Shuttle Atlantis has left quite the legacy on space exploration and scientific research.

EMPs aren’t science fiction. Real militaries are experimenting on real EMP generators, and as Starfish Prime showed us, space nukes can send powerful EMPs to the surface. So what exactly is an EMP, and how dangerous are they?

In this episode SciShow Space we talk about the aether...which hasn't been proven.

SciShow Space shares the latest news from around the universe, including a wrap-up of the experiments conducted in the last space station mission, a test of a new "flying saucer" device from NASA, and new life for our old friend, the...

With a recent announcement from the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs, the doors to space research have been opened for many new countries.

A trip into space produces physiological effects in human beings, but it can also change a person in a profound, psychological way.

Physics is the business of figuring out the structure of the world. So are our brains. But sometimes physics comes to conclusions that are in direct conflict with concepts fundamental to our minds, such as the realness of space and time....

Long months or years spent in space can be isolating, making astronauts susceptible to boredom and depression. Here's a look at some long-term studies we've done here on Earth to figure out what isolation does to people, and how to make...

Two astronauts are about to embark on the One Year Mission which can help us understand more about the long-term effects of being in space, and there is an upcoming total lunar eclipse (the shortest one this century)!

Whether it's robots under the sea, wave detectors in space, or star-power on land, this episode has big experiments covered.

In 2021, a crew of civilian astronauts spent three days in Earth orbit. While they were up there, they performed a bevy of experiments. And not only did we learn more about what space travel can do to the human body, we also learned...

Mae Jemison is an astronaut, a doctor, an art collector, a dancer ... Telling stories from her own education and from her time in space, she calls on educators to teach both the arts and sciences, both intuition and logic, as one -- to...

If you were to orbit the Earth, you'd experience the feeling of free fall, not unlike what your stomach feels before a big dive on a roller coaster. With a little help from Sir Isaac Newton, Matt J. Carlson explains the basic forces...

Jedidah Isler dreamt of becoming an astrophysicist since she was a young girl, but the odds were against her: At that time, only 18 black women in the united States had ever earned a PhD in a physics-related discipline. In this personal...

Ever since we started launching stuff into space, we've communicated with spacecraft (and astronauts) using radio waves. But over the past few decades, scientists have experimented with a new technique that could make things a lot more...

We all know it's awesome, and we could watch Chris Hadfield sing all day, but do you know about the awesome science that's being done on the International Space Station? Hank explains three big discoveries made on the ISS that you should...
