The Vietnam War (or Second Indochina War, as known in Asia) was one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of the 20th century. The enduring struggle between the communist Viet Cong and the capitalist-backed South claimed hundreds thousands of innocent lives. This explainer video informs you about i
Fusion, which occurs when atomic nuclei combine to form new elements, is extremely powerful. All the stars in the universe, including the Sun, are nuclear furnaces fueled by fusion. Through fusion, stars are responsible for forming all the naturally occurring elements heavier than hydrogen and heliu

Discover how the James Webb Space Telescope will help us better understand solar system formation in this video from NASA. Images from the Hubble Space Telescope show star-forming regions within the Eagle nebula: visible light images show vast clouds of gas and dust, and infrared images provide a gl
In Mongolia, horses were already indispensable for warlords 800 years ago. Without them, the conquest and administration of this great empire would not have been possible. The history of war is therefore also a history of horses. Author: ZDF/Terra X/ E. Rauert; N. Bergenthal, Oliver Roetz, renderba
It’s hard to picture how the effects of a modern-day nuclear attack would be, but any nuclear strike would unleash suffering on a scale not seen before. Our video explains what we can expect to happen in a nuclear attack. #nuclear #nuclearattack #nuclearwar Transcript: alugha Click here to see mor
Our nationwide monitoring network for radioactivity has its roots in the so-called warning offices. During the Cold War in Germany - i.e. during the conflict between East and West after the Second World War - they were responsible for warning the population in the event of an attack with NBC weapons
A neutron star comes from a large star that has run out of fuel, and exploded as a supernova. First it becomes a radio pulsar and later becomes a magnetar. Or maybe it’s the other way around! NASA Science: http://science.nasa.gov/ Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/NASA
The early Universe was dark and cold until a few atoms of hydrogen and helium got together. A star was born. With the birth of the first stars, a fantastic chain of events occurred that enabled a diversity of elements and chemistry. Anything was possible. Website: https://www.bighistoryproject.com
In a new study, scientists at MIT, Harvard, Caltech and elsewhere report that they have observed a star swallowing a planet for the first time. They say Earth may suffer a similar fate in 5 billion years. (Learn more: http://news.mit.edu/2023/astronomers-spot-star-swallowing-planet-0503) Watch more
