Discover what happens at the outer edges of our solar system, where the solar wind interacts with interstellar space. The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) is a mission to study the boundary between the solar system and interstellar space. Voyager 1 and 2 have provided some direct measurements f
Explore how astronomers and scientists use astronomical units to measure distances in the solar system in this video adapted from NASA. The astronomical unit (au) -- equal to the average distance from Earth to the Sun -- is a convenient unit of measure when talking about distances in the solar syste
What if we nuked mars? I know it seems like a question from far out of left field, but Elon Musk, head of Tesla as well as SpaceX, said in 2015 that nuking mars with thermonuclear weapons would be a great way to heat up the planet so humans could live on it. But would this actually work? And what ar
Explore how human understanding of planetary orbits has changed throughout history in this video about Kepler's laws of planetary motion. Kepler's three laws of planetary motion accurately describe the elliptical orbits of objects around the Sun. This video presents the story of Johannes Kepler and
In this video from NASA, learn about the history of defining a planet, and examine how classification changes based on new knowledge. Our understanding of the solar system has evolved since the ancient Greeks, who first used the word planetes to distinguish the objects that moved against the backdro

Learn about the discovery of conditions that would have been suitable for life on ancient Mars. In 2013, the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) science team released initial findings from its first drilled sample using the Curiosity rover. MSL scientist Joel Hurowitz describes the sedimentary rock sample
Mars is so attractive to us humans because it is our closest neighboring planet. It formed only a little earlier than Earth and can tell us a lot about the evolution of Earth and the solar system. Author: ZDF/nano/Raketenfilm/Andreas Gust/Konstantin Fuchs Translation and dubbing: alugha Click her
The solar system is our home. But what do we know about it? How big is it and how did it come into existence? Just watch the video! Author: Cornel Becheru Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/mysimpleshow
Discover how scientists compare the reflected red, blue, and green light from planets in our solar system to identify Earthlike planets beyond our solar system more easily. Carolyn Crow, a member of the Deep Impact science team, describes how the amount of green, blue, and red light reflected by pla
Learn about the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission to Mars in this video from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Mars does not have a global magnetic field like Earth but does have patches of magnetic fields. Scientists use magnetometers to study the planet's magnetic anomalies.
