How does GPS know where to go? What has satellite navigation to do with it? Maths is all around us. It’s almost impossible to think of something that’s made without the help of mathematics. In this video we explain how does GPS satellite navigation works. Authors: Roman Ilyushenko, Nicolai Nobis
Dynamic bubbles of ionization in Earth's upper atmosphere can cause GPS signals to "twinkle" like stars, affecting the quality of navigation on Earth below. NASA recently conducted a mission called CINDI to investigate this phenomenon. Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more. Click here to see mor
NASA's MMS spacecraft are flying around Earth in a precise formation made possible by an out-of-this-world system of GPS navigators. Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more. Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/NASA
Reports of GNSS interference in the Baltic Sea have become almost routine — airplanes losing GPS, ships drifting off course, and timing systems failing. But what happens when a group of engineers decides to build a navigation system that simply *doesn’t care* about the jammer? Since 2017, we’ve bee

Learn about the cycle of seasons that guides the traditional Alaska Native subsistence way of life, in this video adapted from the Alaska Native Heritage Center focuses. As the seasons change and the available resources change, so do Alaska Native peoples' hunting and gathering activities. Recognizi
In this video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW, learn about concussions—a common type of traumatic brain injury. Hear from Reed Snyderman, a young athlete who describes his personal experience with concussion. In addition, meet Dr. Jam Ghajar, a neurosurgeon and international expert in brain inj

Triangles are the building blocks of all other straight-edged shapes. They were used for hundreds of years to create accurate maps and GPS today still works using trigonometry. Even the pixels on phones and screens use trigonometry.We need to know these things so that we can work out exact length
Dealing with a hypocrite or a liar could take a toll on our mental health. Hypocrites tend to tell us one thing but do another, leading us to question whether they are someone we can truly spend time with. Being able to spot a hypocrite will help you weed out the toxic people you should not be wasti
