Astronomers have been trying to figure out black holes for hundreds of years, and newly published research may hold some big clues! Plus, rust isn’t supposed to happen in dry and airless places like the Moon. Could the elements that...

Cassini is about to take its final dive into the rings of Saturn, and scientists are still debating the status of water on our moon.

NASA is sending a robot to Saturn’s giant moon Titan and instead of landing, orbiting, or driving when it gets there, this mission will fly.

There’s a small asteroid that appears to orbit Earth in a horseshoe shape. Sometimes referred to as Earth’s second moon, but it's orbit is much weirder than that.

Let's take a moment to remember the selfless sacrifices made by some amazing robotic explorers.

The Hubble Telescope found more evidence of vast plumes of water bursting through the icy surface of Jupiter's moon Europa. What does this tell us about the potential for life on Europa?

Most of the time, it’s not great when an expensive spacecraft slams into an extraterrestrial body. But now and then mission control intentionally crashes a spacecraft for science!

This week, scientists try to figure out what went wrong with India's moon lander, and what went right with a newly discovered, naturally occurring mineral.

We’ve sent thousands of things into space over the years! Many of them just orbit the Earth, and some are flying out past the edges of the Solar System. In this episode, we present our favorite currently active space probes!

Today Emily Graslie of The Brain Scoop gives us the news about a couple of near- misses for our planet and an update on where astronomers think habitable life might be found in other star systems.

Space Clue: 203 Pompeja and 269 Justitia in the asteroid belt with evidence of being formed outside of it. But the real mystery is how they got there! And we again return to Ganymede with new evidence suggesting even more kinds of water...

What else did we leave on the moon? Smarter Every Day explains

Albert Einstein strongly disagreed with Niels Bohr when it came to Bohr's interpretation of quantum mechanics. Quantum entanglement settled the argument once and for all.

This week on SciShow Space News, researchers have figured out which gas drives fire fountain eruptions on the Moon. And you can send a message or your name to the Moon or Mars!

Michael Collins isn't as recognizable a name as Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, but his job on the Apollo 11 mission was just as important.

Exorings are pretty elusive, but we’ve already found what might be the first set of exorings, and if we find more, we’ll have a treasure trove of new information.

On August 21, 2017, the moon's shadow raced from Oregon to South Carolina in what some consider to be the most awe-inspiring spectacle in all of nature: a total solar eclipse. umbraphile David Baron chases these rare events across the...

2019 will be a big year for the moon! Not only is it the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, but our closest neighbor is receiving a bunch of new visitors this year.

Could we exit our solar system, and enter another? Astrophysicist Philip Lubin discusses the awesome potential of using lasers to propel small spacecraft, enabling humanity's first interstellar missions. Learn how this transformative...

Carolyn Porco shares exciting new findings from the Cassini spacecraft's recent sweep of one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus. Samples gathered from the moon's icy geysers hint that an ocean under its surface could harbor life.

Is there life beyond earth? Join NASA's director of planetary science James Green for a survey of the places in our solar system that are most likely to harbor alien life.
