Know the Moon – Yerkes
In this video we fly down to the Mare Crisium and check out the lava filled crater called Yerkes, the lava has long ago cooled leaving this almost fully buried crater. Then we go and have a look at a crater on Earth.

In this video of our know the Moon series we visit the unusually shaped crater called Ukert.
In this video we fly around the Montes Alpes on the edge of the huge Mare Imbrium and have a look at the mountains that make up this impressive range.
In this video we visit the huge impact crater on the Moon called Aristillus. This crater is 55km across and nearly 4km deep. It is easily visible with binoculars.
In this video we fly down to the surface of the Moon and have a close look at the crater called Plato.
This video is about exploring the Vallis Schroteri, or Schroters Valley on the Moon.
In this video we visit Rima Hyginus which contains a suspected volcanic caldera.
We interviewed Mitch Schulte, Mars Exploration Program Scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC and NZ Astrobiology Network’s official adviser about what it is like to work on Mars.
…space is one of the most important forces shaping the human mind” – and navigation is a way to organising this space, our environment. M.R.O’Connor
Neutron Stars by Katia Moskvitch is the brilliant story of our understanding of neutron stars, not just a book about neutron stars.
Travel 2.4 billion light years back in time to see a strange object: Quasar 3C-273. With your own eyes.
The name May comes from a star, Maia that is actually not visible in May.
The stars around Sirius make up the constellation of Canis Major which has some really nice open clusters to view through binoculars or a telescope.
This is all about our Sun, Solar System and our Galaxy and how they all fit together.
It would be ironic to discover life on Venus before we found out about it on Mars but scientists insist for now that is “just phosphine”.
(And we can do something about it.)
Life needs CHNOPS, the six essential elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulphur. Curiosity found them on ancient Mars, but a new study shows Earth was born without them. Only a lucky impact with Theia made our world habitable. In contrast, Venus never stood a chance. Meet the three planetary siblings and discover why only Earth became a cradle for life.
Mars’s mantle contains ancient fragments up to 4km wide from its formation—preserved like geological fossils from the planet’s violent early history.
Cosmic rays are hitting the atmosphere constantly. One of the products of the collisions is muons, and we can detect muons on the surface of the Earth to learn about the cosmic rays.
