NASA’s "Juno" spacecraft traveled 1.7 billion miles to reach its destination: the planet Jupiter. Before "Juno’s" journey, NASA engineers had to develop a spacecraft capable of surviving the trip. They researched and created "Juno," a solar-powered spacecraft. Part of the “Crazy Engineering” series.

Astronomers are beginning to locate thousands of planets that exist outside of the solar system. Scientists provide a behind-the-scenes look at the simple technique that astronomers are using to discover these curious new planets. Part of the "Science Out Loud" series.
David Boboltz of the National Science Foundation explains the hazards of not wearing the appropriate glasses to view the solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. Those wishing to view the eclipse need to make sure they have approved solar glasses so they do not damage their eyes.
David Boboltz of the National Science Foundation provides information on where to obtain the appropriate glasses to view the solar eclipse. He advises those wishing to view the eclipse to check with their local libraries and various online sources.
David Boboltz of the National Science Foundation provides tips for safely viewing the solar eclipse. He advises viewers to use the appropriate glasses leading up to and after the moment of totality.
In 1977, Voyagers I and II left Earth for deep space exploration and a close-up view of the edges of our solar system. Reveals how the space shuttles used the gravitational fields from surrounding planets to slingshot themselves through the outer planets. Voyager II's graphics and real pictures of Neptune and Uranus help explain their features, axis, rings and moons, and magnetic fields. Also notes some peculiar facts about each.
Scientists believe that Saturn, the second largest planet, would float in water if a glass were big enough. Uses computer graphics to note its features and those of its seven rings. Discusses Titan, its largest moon, and the Cassini probe, which examines it. Notes Saturn is a gas giant, has a 30-year orbit, and that astronomers create theories about this planet based on limited facts.
The sun's powerful, warm rays light up the sky with brilliant color and heat. The changing cycles of the sun can affect the earth and its living organisms. The sun is similar to a living organism-just as humans are born, grow older, and die, so too will the sun. When this happens, the rest of the solar system will have no future.
The scientists will explore the color spectrum and explain why humans cannot see the whole spectrum. They will also create a solar oven using aluminum foil. Part of the House of Science Series.
More energy from the sun hits the Earth in one hour than is consumed on the planet in a whole year. Caltech chemical engineer Sossina Haile and University of Minnesota mechanical engineer Jane Davidson are working to expand the nation’s renewable energy storage capacity. Their mission is to put the heat of the sun to work creating renewable fuels from sources that don’t need to be drilled out of the ground. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
With support from the National Science Foundation, astronomers Marc Buie and John Keller are involving citizen scientists from throughout the western United States to participate in the Research and Education Cooperative Occultation Network (RECON). The project has provided telescope equipment and training to 14 small western U.S. communities north and south of Reno, Nevada, where night skies are clear and dark. When RECON students look out at the night sky, they look way out to the Kuiper Belt, a ring of icy debris that litters the Solar System out beyond Neptune. The network is looking to determine the sizes of Kuiper Belt objects as they pass in front of distant stars. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
Gabriela, Manuel and Leonardo are three friends who accidentally start a rocket that takes them to space. Their journey through space takes them to different planets and strange worlds. Throughout their journey, they have the help of Maqui, an on-board computer. Maqui helps them learn about the universe. From the spaceship, Leo sees some very strong rays coming from a sun. Afraid that something would explode, they consulted with Maqui. She tells them that the temperature outside is very dangerous. She also warns that a solar storm can start at any moment.
Our middle-aged sun has fascinated people throughout history, but only since the rocket age have scientists been able to document its life and the forces that sustain it. Explores sunspots, solar cycles, the birth of a solar storm, and the use of specialized spacecraft outside earth's ionosphere.
Meet Peter Kachenko, director of operations at Third Sun Solar, and find out how to prepare for a career as an energy analyst. Math, accounting, and science are key topics to focus on when preparing to enter this profession. Part of the "Career Connections" series.
It is a fireball in the sky, a bubbling, boiling, kinetic sphere of white hot plasma, exploding and erupting. Its size is almost unimaginable--one million Earths would fit within its boundaries. In this violence is born almost all the energy that makes existence on Earth possible. Yet, its full mysteries are only now beginning to be understood. From sunspots to solar eclipses, solar flares to solar storms, the birth of the sun to its potential death, discover the science and history behind this celestial object that makes life on Earth exist.
Our solar system is a fascinating place. Colorful images illustrate the major planets and their unique characteristics. Special attention is paid to what makes Earth unique in the solar system.
Industrial engineer and systems analyst Monica Barin shares her path to a career in solar power technology. She experienced a failure early in her pursuit, but she used her disappointment as a tool to find success. Part of the "Career Spotlight" series.
