Einstein once said that only the work of Galileo can be seen as the real beginning of astronomy and physics. All before that might have been science but not in a way, we are thinking about that term today. Galileo was the first person pointing a telescope to the sky and making incredible observations about our cosmos. (10:25)

This short video (with no narration, just music) shows the scale of the planets in our Solar System as well as the scale of our Sun to other stars in the universe. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and would work well in conjunction with a lesson/unit on Earth and the Universe. (01:41)

"The search for Earth-like planets is reaching a fever-pitch. Does the evidence so far help shed light on the ancient question: Is the galaxy filled with life, or is Earth just a beautiful, lonely aberration? If things don't work out on this planet or if our itch to explore becomes unbearable at some point in the future, astronomers have recently found out what kind of galactic real estate might be available to us. We'll have to develop advanced transport to land there, 20 light years away. The question right now: is it worth the trip?" This video has English captions. (21:29)

Space is unbelievably strange. You would be forgiven for thinking that every planet out there is similar, just a big ball of rock and gas, but planets are remarkably more unique than that. Here's the top 10 strangest planets in the known universe, that seem like they belong in some bizarre science fiction series.(12:24)

Once, astronomers thought planets couldn't form around binary stars. Now Kepler has found a whole system of planets orbiting a double star. This finding shows that planetary systems are weirder and more abundant than previously thought. (04:04)

This student-created video explains using a sentence as a memory technique for learning the planets in order from the sun. My very excellent mother just saw us napping is the sentence used. The first letter of each word is the first letter of a planet (My=Mercury, Very=Venus), etc. (This technique is different from more traditional methods which included Pluto. Pluto is now classified as a Dwarf planet and is not included.) (01:13)
