This video introduces the Sun and planets of the solar system. This video looks at galaxies ,identifies the location of the solar system in the Milky Way galaxy and discusses the role of nuclear fusion in the sun.

Scientists have discovered a shard of a planet that survived the death of its star and TESS has found the first direct evidence of an exocomet.

The shape, contents and future of the universe are all intricately related. We know that it's mostly flat; we know that it's made up of baryonic matter (like stars and planets), but mostly dark matter and dark energy; and we know that...

SciShow Space shares the latest news from around the universe, including the first observation of a star-within-a-star, and the debut image from the newest telescope to be enlisted in the hunt for alien worlds.

Stars twinkle because their light is distorted by Earth's atmosphere, while the Sun and planets appear steady due to their closer distance and larger size.

This video covers:

- How the universe is struc
tured
- Planets orbit a central star to form sol
ar systems
- Then solar systems are group

How will the universe end? Whether you think the universe is good, bad or indifferent, it will come to an end…someday. How will that happen? Will it simply die a slow death over time? Will it die dramatically in a big...

This video discusses the advancements in optical interferometry, a technique that combines light from multiple telescopes to create sharper images of stars and galaxies. With the use of the Very Large Telescope in Chile, astronomers are...

We can't use tape measures, rulers or lasers to measure the astronomical distances to stars and galaxies, so how do we do it?

Artist-technologist Honor Harger listens to the weird and wonderful noises of stars and planets and pulsars. In her work, she tracks the radio waves emitted by ancient celestial objects and turns them into sound, including "the oldest...

What makes a planet a planet? And what makes a star a star? Once we know this these defining characteristics, we start to notice that these definitions can overlap. Which begs the question, can a planet be bigger than its parent star?

What are stars made of? How are they born, how do they live, and how do they die? Physics - Our Solar System - Learning Points. Our nearest star is the Sun. A star is formed from a cloud of dust and gas, which shrinks under gravity and...
