In this SpaceRip video we look at some breathtaking ultra high resolution photos of mankind's historic first steps on the Moon... on the lunar Sea of Tranquility.
Take a breathtaking journey into the future, five billion years from now, to see the ultimate fate of the Solar System. This gem from HubbleCast showcases stunning Hubble imagery of the death throes of Sun-like stars. The wreckage of these dying stars form the building blocks of new generations of stars.
Incredible 4k supercomputer images of Planet Earth. Youtube plays them now at HD resolution. Youtube allows us to upload full UltraHD images now, and we hope the platform will begin streaming them in the next year.
In this SpaceRip video we look at a flight down into a data visualisation of the undersea mountains and trenches of the Pacific Ocean, ending up in the deepest part of the ocean, the Marianas Trench. The 'Challenger Deep' is measured at 35,813 feet below the surface, or 10,915 meters. Courtesy of NOAA's Marine Geology and Geophysics Division.
In this video presentation from SpaceRip we look at:
Why do a rare few evolve into colossal monsters, that leave in their wake a trail of destruction, death, and despair?
In this SpaceRip video we look at recent new activity from Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano. Just as the activity is rising, we&'re learning more about its deeper patterns. A new study finds that a deep connection about 50 miles underground can explain the enigmatic behavior of two of Earth&';s most notable volcanoes, Hawaii's Mauna Loa and Kilauea.
Take a look at the recent changes that are taking place at Earth's North and South Pole. Tom Wagner, the Cryosphere program manager at NASA, takes a look at the loss of Artic Sea Ice, changes in Greenland and Antarctica, and reveals some surprisingly blatant truths about what is happening to our planet.
The longer a telescope spends looking at a target, the more sensitive the observations become, and the deeper we can look into space. But to get the full picture of what's happening in the Universe, astronomers also need observations at a range of different wavelengths, requiring different telescopes. These are the key ideas behind the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, or GOODS for short.
Pandora is the idyllic blue world featured in the movie Avatar. Its location is a real place: Alpha Centauri, the nearest star to our Sun and the most likely destination for our first journey beyond the solar system
In this SpaceRip video we look at the Mars Curiosity Rover. This incredible piece of machinery is a one-ton, all-inclusive laboratory, capable of analyzing all aspects of the Martian surface and atmosphere.
It's primary goals include investigation of the climate and geology, assessment of whether or not Gale Crater has ever offered life-sustaining environmental conditions, investigating the role of water on mars, and planetary habitability studies in preparation for future human exploration.
In this SpaceRip video we look at why to some there is no vision more reassuring: the cycles of the sun and the moon, the heavens ceaselessly turning. The night sky is unchanging and eternal -- Or so it seems. But modern astronomy has given us a much different vision: a universe that roils and vents its rage... In fierce radiation jets that erupt from newborn stars. In netherworlds where matter billions of times the mass of our sun collapses to a single point. In the most violent explosions since the Big Bang... The supernova.
Did Mars long ago develop far enough for life to arise? If so, does anything still live within Mars' dusty plains, beneath its ice caps, or somewhere underground?
