If you’ve been distracted looking at the amazing photos The James Webb Space Telescope has taken, not to worry. Here are three other stellar stories from the last year of space science!

2022 was a pretty exciting year for space science, but what news might we expect in the coming year?

Learn about the comet Hale Bopp, one of the brightest comets ever discovered — including its discovery, orbit, near-collisions with planets, the bright dust tail, the ion tail, the sodium tail and more astronomy facts -- with these space...

Hank shares three cool discoveries in space science, including a celestial crucible of phosphorous, noble gases found in a supernova, and plumes of water vapor on Europa.

Michael Aranda sits in for Hank to talk about the forces of nature that conspired to form Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest tropical cyclone ever measured. Plus, what's neutrino astronomy? You're about to find out, because it's a thing now,...

Hank fills us in on the four exploratory missions to space that he is most excited about - New Horizons is going to Pluto and the Kuiper belt; Juno is on it's way to Jupiter; Dawn is exploring two large asteroids; Rosetta will land on a...

Building the James Webb Space Telescope is challenging. It is NASA's most ambitious and complex space science observatory. The mission required 10 new technologies to be invented, the dedication of hundreds of scientists,...

In October 2019, technicians and engineers successfully performed a critical test on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope by fully deploying and properly tensioning each of its five uniquely sized sunshield layers, putting...

Let's learn about anthropogenic space weather!

Welcome to SciShow Space! In this episode Caitlin Hofmeister will talk about Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, one of the most influential women in astronomy!

Pulsars are more than just cool blinking lights shining across the universe. The discovery of the first binary pulsar paved the way for gravitational wave astronomy astronomy today.

What’s impossible today becomes possible tomorrow, and this is especially true in astronomy. Here are three videos about things we could only once imagine.

Welcome to the first episode of Crash Course Astronomy. Your host for this intergalactic adventure is the Bad Astronomer himself, Phil Plait. We begin with answering a question: "What is astronomy?"

On January 30, 2020, we had to say goodbye to NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope after more thank 16 years of revolutionizing infrared astronomy. Today, SciShow sends it off and says thank you by taking a look back at it’s incredible legacy.

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.

EVER WANTED TO WEIGH A FART? Well, it isn't easy, but Gabe from PBS Space Time walks us through the math, physics, and science behind farts and explains how to measure them!

We need more solutions for our energy needs, and one idea is straight out of science fiction: Solar panels, in space.

We’ve talked a lot about black holes, but there are other kinds of space holes out there that deserve some time in the spotlight!

If you want to spend any amount of time in space, you'll have to make adjustments to your lifestyle. From what you eat, to how you go to the bathroom, to regular activities you're simply not allowed to do on the ISS, SciShow Space has...

No one likes being sick, but can you imagine catching a bug while hurling through space? Turns out, this is an issue that many space agencies have worked to study and mitigate. <b<br/>r/>

2022 is looking like a great year for space exploration! Let's dig into three of the missions that we're really excited to watch unfold!

Since November of 2000, there have always been people on board the International Space Station. That’s nearly 20 straight years of humans living in space! But the ISS isn’t just the world’s coolest playground, it’s also a...

In space we can finally get away from pesky flies landing in our drinks! But before we can live off-Earth full time, sending flies into orbit is helping us study how space affects our human hearts and immune systems.

Right now, discarded parts from old spacecraft, bags of pee, and dead probes are just floating around in space, but it doesn’t have to be like that. Let's take a look at some of the ways we've figured out to reduce, reuse, and recycle in...
