The climatic phenomenon known as El Niño is a disruption of the ocean-atmosphere system in the tropical Pacific that impacts weather and climate around the globe. An El Niño occurs every four to twelve years, causes die-offs of plankton and fish, and affects Pacific jet-stream winds, altering storm
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
Warm water fuels the tropical storms that ultimately form hurricanes. In this video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, learn how El Niño events—climatic anomalies that occur periodically in the Pacific Ocean—alter the course of atmospheric circulation and lessen hurricane forma
Astronomer Doris Daou explains how the forces of speed and gravity keep the Moon in a constant orbit around Earth in this animated video segment adapted from NASA. The Moon, Earth's natural satellite, seems to hover in the sky, unaffected by gravity. However, the reason the Moon stays in orbit is pr
Topics of the video: 0:11 Which gases are noble gases? 0:36 Where can I find noble gases? 1:41 Why are the noble gases called "noble"? 2:27 Atomic construction - according to Bohr's shell model + noble gas configuration and octet rule 3:57 How do other atoms - other elements - achieve the noble gas
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
Discover what happens during a lunar eclipse in this video from NASA. The orbit of the Moon around Earth causes the monthly phases of the Moon; lunar eclipses occur when the Moon passes through Earth's shadow. The video shows how the appearance of the Moon changes as it passes through Earth's penumb

A black hole is defined as such because nothing can escape from a certain point inside, not even light. There is, however, a last stable orbit which is called the event horizon outside of w
