Saturn has twenty-one moons, and each one has its own physical composition and location. From the Kool Books series narrated by Hector Bonilla.
What is a black hole? Hans Krimm, an observational astronomer at the National Science Foundation, answers this question. Part of the "Ask a Scientist" series.
In this segment, Hannah receives a visit from a meteor. Through song, she learns when a flash of light is really a meteor. Part of the "Space School Musical" series.
Scientists use magnetometers to study magnetic anomalies found on Mars. The MAVEN spacecraft carries two magnetometers to investigate the planet's magnetic field in order to understand how the Martian atmosphere and climate has evolved over time.
In this episode, host Dianna Cowern interviews planetary geologist Raquel Nuno. They discuss the reasons why Mars is inhabitable for humans. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
In this episode, Dr. Michelle Thaller explains the molecular makeup of space. She discusses "interstellar medium," which is what is found between stars. Part of the "Ask an Astronomer" series.
Hannah’s musical friends continue their journey through space. In this segment, they sing and dance through space with the sun and planets. Part of the "Space School Musical" series.
The moon makes a special appearance in this segment. Hannah’s musical friends provide facts about the moon as they “moon dance” through the solar system. Part of the "Space School Musical" series.
In this episode, Dr. Varoujan Gorjian discusses what happens when galaxies collide. Usually new stars form due to the impact of gases on one another. Part of the "Ask an Astronomer" series.
Though manned space flight began in 1961, any kind of off-earth colonization remains a dream. Astronauts and scientists speculate about the possibilities, dangers, and problems to be overcome.
Bill Nye explains how Jupiter helped spread the building blocks of life and the planet's role in the formation of the solar system. Part of the “Why With Nye” series.
Bill Nye shows how NASA's “Juno” spacecraft uses a combination of cutting-edge technology and the Doppler effect to take a peek deep inside Jupiter. Part of the “Why With Nye” series.
Are planets still being formed? Dr. Debra Fischer answers this and other questions about the Cosmos. Part of the "Ask a Scientist" series.
The Hubble Space Telescope, flawed when launched in 1990 and repaired in 1993, helps scientists study the universe. Highlights Hubble from design, construction, and repair to a range of spectacular images taken from beyond earth's atmosphere.
Take a tour of the moon's surface. Images and topographic maps show craters, rocks, mountains, basins, and valleys found on the moon. These maps help improve scientific understanding of how Earth's moon and other rocky planets in the solar system evolved.
In this episode, scientists discuss the W5 star-forming region. Through the use of infrared light, they show areas within the region where new stars are being formed. Part of the "Ask an Astronomer" series.
During a trip to CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, host Dianna Cowern discusses dark matter with a theoretical physicist. Scientists at CERN are using the Large Hadron Collider to search for dark matter. Part of the "Physics Girl" series.
Dr. Carolyn Brinkworth addresses a famous science fiction scenario in this episode. She discusses the three requirements for planets to form around binary stars. Part of the "Ask an Astronomer" series.
What causes day and night? This program uses animations to help answer this often difficult-to-teach concept. The position of Earth and the sun, as well as the process of rotation are clearly illustrated.
