Learn about gravitational waves and how they can be detected in this video from NOVA: Black Hole Apocalypse. Use this resource to visualize abstract concepts related to waves and wave interactions and to provide opportunities for students to develop and use models and to communicate explanations wit
Ever since the apple fell on Isaac Newton's head that fateful day, scientists have been working hard to understand the mysterious force that is gravity. Lucky for us, they've learned a great deal, and the knowledge is out there for all to see! But as with many such concepts, while most people have a
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 plan to use data from the GRAIL mission and a map of the Moon's gravitational field to learn about its internal structure. By comparing data about the Moon's gravity with information about its topography, scientists can gain a better understanding of the Moon's formation and
We once thought the Earth was flat, but somewhere along the way, one person had an idea... maybe it isn't. Here are some crazy ideas that turned out to be real! Support Life Noggin on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LifeNogginStudios?ty=h Follow Us! https://twitter.com/LifeNoggin https://facebook
Saturn is unique. Unlike the other 8 planets in our solar system Saturn has one thing going for it the others are lacking. Rings! Beautiful, multicoloured rings, make the 6th planet from the sun a cosmic marvel, but how and why are they there? Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/Life
In this NOVA video, two teams test out two theories put forth by archaeologists to explain how ancient Egyptians might have raised massive obelisks to stable, upright positions. While only one plan works in practice, both attempts demonstrate that difficult challenges require careful planning. This
Learn how gravity can be described as the curving of spacetime, according to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, in this video from NOVA: Black Hole Apocalypse. Computer animations illustrate the concept of warped spacetime and how objects “fall” along a curved path. Use this resource to visual
Launched in September 2011, find out about the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission to measure the gravitational field of the Moon and study how the Moon developed over time. Animations illustrate technical aspects of the mission's design, including the launch, orbital insertion
What If Our Galaxy Collided With Another? Subscribe To Life's Biggest Questions: http://bit.ly/2evqECe Galaxies colliding; it sounds like a spectacular cosmic event, and it is…it is truly beautiful …to watch anyone. Being part of a galaxy in the process of collision is not great. Not great for lif
Learn about Neptune's gravitational effect on dust contained in the Kuiper belt and discover how it could help astronomers look for planets around other stars. This video from NASA explores the idea that if would-be alien astronomers were looking for planets around the Sun, they could potentially de
What Would Happen If The Sun Fell Into A BLACK HOLE? Black holes are as mysterious as they are disastrous. They are a small region of space with a great amount of matter packed into a small area. They have a gravitational pull so intense that no matter or radiation can escape the event horizon. Tha
