Before moving on from Jupiter to Saturn, we’re going to linger for a moment on Jupiter’s moons. There are 67 known moons, and 4 huge ones that we want to explore in greater detail. Ganymede is the largest - larger, in fact, than any other moon in the solar system and the planet Mercury! Callisto, orbiting the farthest out, is smaller but quite similar to Ganymede in many ways. Io, meanwhile, is most noteworthy for its tremendous volcanic activity. There’s also water on Ganymede and Europa! (10:29)

Saturn is the crown jewel of the solar system, beautiful and fascinating. It is a gas giant, and has a broad set of rings made of ice particles. Moons create gaps in the rings via their gravity. Saturn has dozens of moons, including Titan, which is as big as Mercury and has a thick atmosphere and lakes of methane; and Enceladus which has an under-surface ocean and eruptions of water geysers. While we are still uncertain, it is entirely possible that either or both moons may support life. (12:15)

Massive stars fuse heavier elements in their cores than lower mass stars. This leads to the creation of heavier elements up to iron. Iron robs critical energy from the core, causing it to collapse. The shock wave, together with a huge swarm of neutrinos, blast through the star’s outer layers, causing it to explode. The resulting supernova creates even more heavy elements, scattering them through space. Also, happily, we’re in no danger from a nearby supernova. (12:17)

This very well-made video, created by the American Museum of Natural History under the title "The Known Universe," takes viewers on an imaginary journey from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Animated but scientifically accurate. This video gives a quick impression of how small our place in the universe really is, and introduces basic astronomy concepts. (06:31)

The viewer is taken on a journey to outer space aboard the
"GRAMMARSHIP." Spike, the pilot, and Mission Specialist, Debbie
Speller, convey the information through creative examples of correct
grammar usage, based on the space program and basic astronomy. This interdisciplinary approach was thoughtfully designed for the young, modern student. a unique mixture of comedy, music and special effects help the the charismatic talent deliver an English lesson that is compelling to watch and fun to learn from. Information in this lesson includes: common and proper nouns - abstract and concrete nouns - collective and compound nouns - forming the singular and the plural - showing possession. (03:57)

This video is from the John J. McCarthy Observatory in New Milford, CT. The monthly astronomy lecture is done by Bob Lambert. The lecture starts with an explanation that we are now living in the Earth’s Secondary Atmosphere. It also discusses the First Atmosphere called the primary atmosphere and did not resemble today’s atmosphere at all. The presenter discusses the gases that were contained in the first atmosphere and gases contained in the atmosphere today. The presenter stands beside a screen with a Power Point presentation.

This video was created as a plea to save the James Webb Space Telescope, but it is also a great introduction into why scientific thinking is important. It introduces past questions that have been answered by astronomy, as well as future questions that could arise, and why the scientific study of space is important. Excellent video to get kids to understand that a unit on astronomy is important. (01:33)
