A Moment of Science
How many times have you actually seen a star explode or a asteroid at night? Have ever learned about how the records of these events are taken? Then tune in.
How do you know the sun didn't just explode? We aren't talking about the everyday, run-of-the-mill controlled explosion the sun is always doing, but a big boom.
Water is pretty incredible. Oceans cover 70% of the planet and our bodies are something like 60% water. Where did all this water come from?
The relatively small Earth, with its sizable moon, is the only planet we know of with life on it. Coincidence?
You've tried all sorts of diets, you work out regularly, and you avoid fatty foods, yet still nothing seems to take off those extra pounds eh?
How can scientist know so much about the sun's heliosheath without being able to go there?
Similar physics that governs our solar system can be seen in your own kitchen sink!
Solar winds create a bubble that cover our entire solar system! Scientists call this the sun's heliosphere.
How will future space explorers protect themselves against dangerous solar flares?
