Description
The Kepler mission has determined that terrestrial planets are extremely common, and may orbit most stars in the Milky Way. But these planets are difficult to directly image because they're dense and small. Our Sun is about ten billion times brighter than Earth. Train a distant telescope on us, and it will be overwhelmed by the Sun's rays. So how can we find terrestrial planets around stars light

In this episode, Project Gemini advances, and we see how NASA refines the techniques needed for rendezvous. In part 2, we look at Cassini at Saturn. In the probe’s final years of activity, its handlers are asking it to do more complex and risky assignments. Finally, we learn more about Mars in part 4. An interlinked group of satellites and rovers are paving the way for a manned mission to Mars.

The Sun is our star. Its energy enables life on the Earth to thrive yet we know so little about the solar weather and the 11 year solar cycle. Modern technology can be adversely affected by giant coronal mass ejections and there appears to be a link between sunspot activity and climatic conditions. This episode examines the work done by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO); the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Parker Solar Probe.

Description
This program traces the development of primary cells from the Daniell cell to zinc-carbon dry cells, alkaline cells, button cells, and lithium metal cells. It shows essentials of their chemistry and construction and discusses the advantages and limitations of each format. The program also reviews the concepts of power, voltage, and current; differentiates between a cell and a battery; and explains the differences between cells in series and in parallel....

The Standard Deviants roll up their sleeves and take a look at what work means in physics. You'll discover how to find an object's kinetic energy—the energy it has because of its motion. Also, the mystery of attraction will be revealed as we cover the Law of Universal Gravitation. Finally, we'll answer that burning question: how much does a pizza weigh on the sun? This video introduces the all-important concept of work to the physics student. Physics...
