The history of colonialism

The history of European colonialism began about 500 years ago. At that time, powerful people from Europe sent sailors all over the world to occupy large territories. They called these territories "colonies". Author: ZDF/Pur+/gomie production GmbH/Nadja Stein/Richard Bade/Manos Dosis/Maximilian Tr

Why Doesn't the Moon Fall Down?

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

Mapping the Moon's Gravity | NASA Planetary Sciences

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

Investigating the Moon's Interior | NASA Planetary Sciences

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

Saturn's Rings and Moons | NASA Planetary Sciences

Explore the rings and moons of Saturn through images from the Cassini spacecraft. Saturn's rings were discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, although he did not see enough detail to know what they were. In 2004, the Cassini spacecraft began capturing unprecedented images of Saturn's atmosphere and t
