What’s so special about the other two gas giant planets Uranus and Neptune? What makes them blue? Why is Uranus tipped on its side? They both have a bunch of moons - and rings too!

Discover how the University of Colorado is developing hardware on small satellites and rocket missions, and how we use these missions to train the students who will lead NASA’s future missions like HWO and beyond.

From 2001: A Space Odyssey to Interstellar, a popular trope in science fiction is the depiction of spaceships and space stations that use rotation to generate artificial gravity for its inhabitants. Is this technology really possible? What would it take to design such a habitat? Explore fictitious forces, a subtle concept in physics with surprising relevance to daily life on earth.

Learn about some of the cutting-edge simulations that revealed new insight into Pluto and Charon's initial collisions, as well as how that impact may have big implications for the system's geological evolution, including how we get to the surfaces that were imaged by New Horizons in 2015.

This show will dazzle you with the beauty of the cosmos!

Join us for an introduction to the night sky, the observable planets, the stars, and constellations.

For millennia, humans have wondered whether life exists beyond Earth. Over the last half-century or so, these musings have evolved from fantasy and speculation into a legitimate scientific endeavor, guided largely by the Drake Equation — a formula that estimates the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy. Nadia Drake, a science reporter, will discuss the factors in the Drake Equation, how science reporters choose and construct stories, and the science media's role in communicating discoveries about the search for life beyond Earth.
