Discovering the first true "alien Earth" is a long-held dream of astronomers — and recent exoplanet discoveries have shown that small, rocky worlds like our own are abundant in the galaxy. Let’s look ...
Kepler Space Telescope (00:06:55)
NASA's Kepler Space Telescope was an observatory in space dedicated to finding planets outside our solar system, with a particular focus on finding planets that might resemble Earth.
Curosity Rover (00:07:07)
NASA's Curiosity rover is currently roaming Mars' landscape looking for signs of life and learning about the Red Planet's unique environment.
Curiosity has four main science goals:
Determine whether l...
Remote Sensing (00:05:27)
Remote sensing is the acquiring of information from a distance. NASA observes Earth and other planetary bodies via remote sensors on satellites and aircraft that detect and record reflected or emitted...
Quasars (00:06:32)
Quasars are distant objects powered by black holes a billion times as massive as our sun, Shining so brightly that they eclipse the ancient galaxies that contain them. These powerful dynamos have fasc...
Asteroids (00:07:13)
Asteroids are rocky objects revolving around the sun that are too small to be called planets. They are also known as planetoids or minor planets. There are millions of asteroids, ranging in size from ...
Comet (00:09:51)
Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock, and dust that orbit the Sun. When frozen, they are the size of a small town. When a comet's orbit brings it close to the Sun, it heats up and spews d...
Large Scale Structures of the Universe (00:04:36)
Everywhere we point telescopes in the sky, we see galaxies, going back to the earliest moments in history where galaxies could even exist. These galaxies fall into a pattern: large scale structure of ...
Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics (00:06:33)
Astrophysical fluid dynamics is a modern branch of astronomy involving fluid mechanics which deals with the motion of fluids, like the gases which the stars are made up of or any fluid which is found ...
Supernovae Physics (00:23:53)
The sky above us is strewn with alluringly beautiful remnants of ancient supernovae, that is, stars that lived out their lives and then died in these violent explosions. A supernova is a name given to...
ASTROPHYSICAST (Trailer) (00:00:56)
Cosmic Inflation (00:08:36)
The universe developed from a tiny speck (hypothetically containing the entirety of space) into something much, much bigger. Cosmic inflation explains how this occurred uniformly in spite of the rapid...
Gravitational Physics (00:08:36)
Gravity is one of the universe's fundamental forces and dominates every moment of our conscious experience. It keeps us close to the ground, drags baseballs and basketballs out of the air and gives ou...
Optical Astronomy (00:06:20)
Optical astronomy refers to an area of astronomy where astronomers observe and analyze light from the Universe that falls within the wavelength range that the human eye is sensitive to, using telescop...
Nebula (00:06:21)
A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Nebulae exist in the space between the stars—also known as interstellar space. The closest known nebula to Earth is called the Helix Nebula.
Cosmological Models (00:08:20)
A cosmological model is a mathematical description of the Universe that attempts to explain its current behaviour and evolution over time. Cosmological models are based on direct observations.
General and Special Relativity (00:07:06)
Relativity is the notion that the laws of physics are the same everywhere. We here on Earth obey the same laws of light and gravity as someone in a far-off corner of the universe.
Astroparticle Physics (00:09:39)
Astroparticle physics looks at the most basic building blocks in nature to learn more about how they work. By studying particles from the universe we can learn more about how it was formed and hopeful...
Physical & Quantum Cosmology (00:06:15)
Physical cosmology, as a branch of astronomy, is the study of the largest-scale structures and dynamics of the universe and is concerned with fundamental questions about its formation and evolution.
Q...
Stellar Dynamics (00:07:06)
Stellar dynamics is the branch of astrophysics which describes the collective motions of stars subject to their mutual gravity in a statistical way. That is, it describes systems of many point mass pa...
Magnetohydrodynamics (00:06:49)
Magnetohydrodynamics is one of the interesting sub-branch of physics, where we analyse fluid dynamics with the help of magnetic effects.
MHD is the marriage of hydrodynamics to electromagnetism.
Modified Gravity (00:07:30)
Of nature's four fundamental forces, gravity is the most innately experienced. From their earliest self-directed moments, tiny children will marvel at how the dropped block — or, to parents' exasperat...
Quantum Entanglement (00:07:45)
Quantum entanglement is one of the most bizarre phenomena seen at very tiny, subatomic scales. When two or more particles link up in a certain way, no matter how far apart they are in space, their sta...
Aurora (00:07:13)
The northern lights, or the aurora borealis, are beautiful dancing waves of light that have captivated people for millennia. But for all its beauty, this spectacular light show is a rather violent eve...
In our "Hello, Astrophysicist!" segment, we interact with some of the finest Astrophysicists and talk about lots of exciting and informative stuff. In the first episode, we featured Prof. Debarati Cha...
