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.
How can cake ingredients be whipped into a moon-like crater? A scientist from NASA demonstrates how to construct craters out of household items. Part of the “DIY Space Classroom Activities” series.
Part of the animated "Johan, the Young Scientist" series. Johan wonders why people don't fall off Earth if it really is round. He travels to ScienScape to find out. Professor Hoo sends Johan, Ani, and Moki to Earth to work on an experiment.
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.
Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, has ice at its poles. It also has a tail like a comet due to its exposure to solar winds. Learn other facts about this planet from information gathered by the Messenger spacecraft.
Bill Nye unravels the mysteries of solar-powered space travel. See how NASA's “Juno” spacecraft uses the power of the sun to make the long journey to Jupiter. Part of the “Why With Nye” series.
Explores space stations, lunar bases, and Mars landings as possible solutions to earth's environmental and overpopulation problems. Questions cover both positive and negative aspects of this ambitious, speculative future.
Tour three Martian landscapes and find out how erosion and water has affected the surface of Mars. Flyover images show the structure and composition of the landscape of Mars and focus on Candor Chasma, part of a canyon system of Mars.
Bill Nye takes on Jupiter's deadly radiation. Jupiter produces the radiation equivalent of 100 million X-rays. Nye explains how NASA protects the instruments on the “Juno” spacecraft from this incredibly harsh environment. Part of the “Why With Nye” series.
Examines the similarities and differences between Mars and Earth. Comments on the size, color, atmosphere, and temperature of Mars. Includes footage from recent missions to Mars and speculates on possible manned space flights to the Red Planet.
Discover how the James Webb Space Telescope will help scientists studying the formation of stars. The telescope will provide infrared observations and give astronomers an unprecedented view of stellar birth. Computer models show how a giant cloud of gas and dust collapses to form stars and planets.
