Five Newly released videos from NASA help describe the science of the sun and its effects on the solar system and Earth, while covering the areas of heliophysics: Space Weather, Solar Variability, the Heliosphere, Earth’s magnetosphere, and Earth’s upper atmosphere. NASA has just released five new videos called “Mysteries of the Sun”. The videos describe [...]

The NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory was able to capture this incredible video of a recent coronal mass ejection (CME) on April 7th from the sun’s surface. What makes this video unique is that it was captured in extreme ultraviolet light, giving it an otherworldly feel. It’s been widely reported that Sol is entering an active [...]

Below are two new videos released from NASA showing the evolution of the moon and a narrated tour of the moon. A Narrated Tour of the Moon Although the moon has remained largely unchanged during human history, our understanding of it and how it has evolved over time has evolved dramatically. Thanks to new measurements, [...]

By using simplified lab models, researchers at UCLA have developed a 30-minute film that demonstrates the large-scale fluid dynamics occurring in the oceans and atmosphere. They hope the video helps students visually gain a better understanding of the basic physics that are constantly occurring in the world around them. Oceans and clouds, even the atmosphere [...]

The first images and video from NASA’s GRAIL mission of the far side of the moon were captured on January 19, 2012 by the MoonKAM onboard the lunar spacecraft Ebb as part of a test. The video captures unique images of Mare Orientale, a 560-mile-wide impact basin, and views of the far side of the [...]

It looks like dingoes are smarter than we realized. A captive dingo has been caught on camera, displaying some interesting problem solving skills. It moved a table to use it as a stepping stool in order to reach some food. The Australian Dingo Foundation observing dingoes at the Dingo Discovery and Research Centre in Toolern [...]

The 3D video below of the giant asteroid Vesta offers an amazing look at the object. Sort of a guided tour that might have come straight out of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. It will look best with 3D glasses, so if you have a pair, put them on, turn down the lights and [...]

An incredible new 5 minute video shows a time-lapse view of the Earth from the International Space Station. Words don’t do justice to the extreme beauty and visual majesty of this video. It gives you a glimpse of the experience of being in space that is so breathtaking it leaves you yearning to be on [...]
