For the last 12 years, Carter Emmart has been coordinating the efforts of scientists, artists and programmers to build a complete 3-D visualization of our known universe. He demos this stunning tour and explains how it's being shared with facilities around the world. Carter Emmart uses astronomy and computational modeling to create scientifically accurate, three-dimensional tours of our universe. (06:41)

We are surrounded by space. And that space contains lots of things. And these things have shapes. In geometry we are concerned with the nature of these shapes, how we define them, and what they teach us about the world at large--from math to architecture to biology to astronomy (and everything in between). Learning geometry is about more than just taking your medicine ("It's good for you!"), it's at the core of everything that exists--including you. Having said all that, some of the specific topics we'll cover include angles, intersecting lines, right triangles, perimeter, area, volume, circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, analytic geometry, and geometric constructions. Wow. That's a lot. To summarize: it's difficult to imagine any area of math that is more widely used than geometry. (05:43)

Since February 2011, the two spacecraft of NASA's the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory or STEREO mission have been providing scientists with unprecedented views of the far side of the sun.
The spacecraft travel at different speeds. This means that over time, the satellites become increasingly out of sync, appearing from Earth's perspective to drift farther apart, able to observe first the sides and eventually the far side of the sun. Now they are nearing each other once again, this time on the other side of the sun. During this period when the sun blocks Earth's view -- a geometrical position known in astronomy as a superior conjunction -- radio receivers on Earth will not be able to distinguish STEREO's signal from the sun's radiation.

Afterschool Universe is an out-of-school-time astronomy program for middle school students that explores basic astronomy concepts through engaging hands-on activities and then takes participants on a journey through the Universe beyond the Solar System.
This video shows a simple kinesthetic activity that demonstrates how all the information we obtain about objects in the universe is carried to us by light, and it takes time for light to travel to us from those objects. The amount of time it takes depends on how far away they are.

'Infrared astronomy is a young and exciting science. In recent decades infrared astronomers have unveiled tens of thousands of new galaxies, and have made surprising discoveries such as the huge amounts of water vapour that fill our Galaxy. Yet scientists know there is still much more to discover. Objects such as other planetary systems, or processes like the birth of galaxies in the early Universe, can best be studied with infrared telescopes situated in space and therefore freed from the restrictions imposed by the Earth's atmosphere. This is the reason ESA is constructing the Herschel observatory.' (05:35)

The little "c" representing the speed of light is perhaps the most famous symbol in physics and astronomy. It is one of the most fundamental constants in the world. Which means it is the same no matter in the world you are. Video explains how speed of light is measured. Video is of good quality and appropriate for high school students. Run time 5 mins.

Born in 1731 to freed slaves on a farm in Baltimore, Benjamin Banneker was obsessed with math and science. And his appetite for knowledge only grew as he taught himself astronomy, mathematics, engineering, and the study of the natural world. Rose-Margaret Ekeng-Itua details the numerous accomplishments of Benjamin Banneker. (03:36)

John J. McCarthy Observatory, New Milford, CT. Monthly astronomy lecture. June 2008. Nebulae by Dr. Parker Moreland. Presenter goes starts this episode with pictures of various nebulae. When a picture of a nebulae is shown the presenter gives an explanation of the nebulae and interesting things to look at. Presenter goes onto the World Wide Telescope to look at stars that are in the sky on the night of this presentation. The presenter then shows how to use the telescope. This portion or telescope would be good for any age student. Presenter stands beside a screen that is a Power Point presentation. Video is of good quality and would be appropriate for late elementary students through high school students. (09:53)

Why does February have 28 days when all the other months get 30 or 31? The answer is part superstition, part politics, and part astronomy. (Basically, it's the Romans' fault.) (04:45) Special thanks to Dr. Jen Ebbeler from the University of Texas Classics department for walking me through the history of the Roman calendar.

NASA Television shares this inspiring production by Italian videomaker, Giacomo Sardelli, about the International Space Station, its inhabitants, and its role in space exploration. Sardelli writes of the video, "I'm not the first one to use NASA's pictures taken from the International Space Station to craft a Timelapse video. You can find many of them on the Internet, that's where my inspiration came from. What I wanted to do, though, was to look beyond the intrinsic beauty of those pictures, and use them to tell a story and share the messages sent by the astronauts who worked on the station in the last 11 years." (This might be a good introductory video to peak interest into astronomy, Earth exploration, or Earth rotation.) (02:23)

Explore the ways scientists use technology to see infrared light, including the ways we sense infrared radiation as heat and use space-based sensors to map conditions and changes on Earth’s surface. This video from NASA introduces and explains the concept of Earth’s radiation budget and the possibilities and consequences of it being out of balance. The video also describes the use of infrared sensing in astronomy. (05:22)

Eratosthenes (c. 276 BC -- c.194 BC) was a Greek scholar nicknamed "Beta." This is because he was considered the second best in so many fields. Despite the dismissive nickname, Eratosthenes is still celebrated to this day for his significant contributions to math, astronomy, and geography. He is perhaps best known for measuring the circumference of the Earth, and for devising the "Sieve of Eratosthenes," a quick method for identifying prime numbers. (03:56)

In this educational, animated video for students aged 7-14 Tim and Moby explain why the Maya civilization wasn’t exactly an empire, but still constituted a unified culture. You’ll also find out about the Maya script, the only complete written language developed by indigenous Americans and the role of religion in Maya society. Discover their advances in architecture, math, art, and astronomy and how the Mayas were slowly subdued by the Spanish empire. Plus, believe it or not, Mayan is still spoken in Mexico and parts of Central America today! (05:46)

For the past 23 years Andrea Ghez, professor of physics and astronomy at UCLA, has been collecting data on stars that orbit black holes. She found that their motion provided an opportunity to test the fundamental laws of physics. “We asked how gravity behaves near a super-massive black hole and whether Einstein’s theory is telling us the full story.
