Pin-pricks in the celestial sphere, through which shines the light of heaven? Or gods and heroes looking down from their constellations? Or lights kindled above middle earth by Varda Elbereth and brightened with the dew of the trees of...

Unlike Earth, our Sun is a giant ball of mostly hydrogen and helium. Astronomers managed to figure that one out roughly 100 years ago. But after all this time, they still can't come to an agreement on what "mostly" means, precisely.

SciShow explores two celestial mysteries: the origins of a meteorite that crashed into a house in California, and who's releasing chemicals into the atmosphere that were banned more than 25 years ago?

January babies, rejoice! This month's SciShow Rocks Box video is the story of garnets, and how these fabulous gemstones help us solve geological mysteries, from the Italian Alps to the Himalayas.

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...

Over four decades have passed since researchers discovered two continent-sized blobs wrapped around Earth's core, and they're still trying to figure out what they are. Here's what they know so far. There’s a Subterranean Biosphere Hiding...

This mysterious new ecosystem is being called the ‘subterranean Galápagos’ and it’s almost twice the size of Earth’s oceans. We’ve never seen anything like it. Thumbnail image courtesy of Gaëtan Borgonie, ELI, Belgium. A New Genetic...

Earth’s inner core is neither solid nor liquid, according to a new study in the Nature science journal cited by Science Alert. It’s in what is known as a superionic state.

Something mysterious is going on at the Sun. In defiance of all logic, its atmosphere gets much, much hotter the farther it stretches from the Sun’s blazing surface.
