At his carpet company, Ray Anderson has increased sales and doubled profits while turning the traditional "take / make / waste" industrial system on its head. In a gentle, understated way, he shares a powerful vision for sustainable...

Why are we sending a rocket into the sun? SciShow Space explains the why, what and how of Solar Probe Plus, a mission that'll give us our closest look yet at our nearest star.

Those bright spots on Ceres? We've got some new insight into what they might be! Also, the Geminids meteor shower is coming up and will peak on December 13-14.

Astronomers discovered something cool about an object in the asteroid belt (2006 VW139/288P), and the European Space Agency is conducting a bed rest study that could help us get on our way to Mars.

This week on SciShow Space News, astronauts had to take the scenic route to the ISS because of some space debris. And this month, you might get to see two eclipses: a solar eclipse, and a rare supermoon eclipse.

We may soon have a direct image of a black hole, and we have the first detection of an atmosphere on an Earth-sized exoplanet!

Science columnist Lee Hotz describes a remarkable project at WAIS Divide, Antarctica, where a hardy team are drilling into ten-thousand-year-old ice to extract vital data on our changing climate.

The first time scientists found exoplanets, they were orbiting something very different from our sun: a pulsar.<br/>

The first American astronaut to orbit Earth, John Glenn passed away yesterday in Ohio. But he leaves an admirable legacy.

With acidic puddles, lava lakes, and one of the most important early hominid discoveries, the Danakil Depression is home to all of the extremes.

Hank sets the record straight for us, discussing a rain of spiders in Brazil (!?), a new virus that has the internet all a-twitter, and another asteroid recently found to have hit the Earth (not the one in Siberia!) - are...

Hank sets the record straight on some of the findings of NASA's GRACE mission and how they relate to predictions about sea level rise and climate change.

Earlier this month, a Chinese moon rover discovered a mysterious glittery substance at the bottom of a lunar crater. How did it get there? Also, Comet NEOWISE takes thousands of years to circle the Sun, and right now we can see it in our...

Scientists first saw patches of ice on Mercury 20 years ago, and that discovery raised a lot of questions: How could ice survive on one of the solar system’s hottest planets, and how did it get there in the first place?

Life makes our planet an incredibly exotic place compared to the rest of the known universe, says astrobiologist Betül Kaçar, whose research uses statistics and mathematical models to simulate ancient environments and gather insights...

Invasion of the Yellow Crazy Ants!

Hank clarifies, corrects, and generally straightens out the origins of the terrific heat inside the Earth. It's not only from the collisions and pressure that date back to Earth's formation, it also involves the transport of heavier...

There are a lot of resources given by nature for free -- all we need is our sensitivity to see them and our creativity to use them, says architect Anna Heringer. Heringer uses low-tech materials like mud and bamboo to create structures...

There’s nothing boring about Bennu! From its chemistry, size, shape, and spin to its extremely old age, it proves that even the smallest objects in the solar system have a bizarre and fascinating history.

When astronomers study the universe, they’re often using telescopes that cost millions or even billions of dollars to build. Luckily for the rest of us, there are still plenty of incredible things to see in the sky with the more...

Tabby's star is at it again. Could it be aliens this time!? Also, astronomers have discovered a planet with the density of styrofoam!

The big question in the comments last week was, "BUT WHAT ABOUT ECLIPSES?" Today, Phil breaks 'em down for you.

A look at the science behind pigeons.

Aliens! Could humans really be alone in this expansive universe? And if we're not, how come we've never made contact with other intelligent life? Everyone's thought about it; especially members of the scientific community. Join Gabe as...
