These stars, the [More]
Professor Bailyn introduces the course and discusses the course material and requirements. The three major topics that the course will cover are (1) exoplanets–planets around stars other than the Sun, (2) black holes–stars whose gravitational pull is so strong that even their own light rays cannot escape, and (3) cosmology–the study of the Universe as a whole. Class proper begins with a discussion on planetary orbits. A brief history of astronomy is also given and its major contributors over the centuries are introduced: Ptolemy, Galileo, Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton. 00:00 – Chapter 1.

The microscopic matter that forms the foundation of everything we see. An amazing Documentary on Quantum Physics, Microscopic Universe, and Quantum Entanglement, in which one particle can affect another particle instantly regardless of how far the distance. They could be billions of light years away, and the entanglement is still there. Quantum the Microscopic Universe Full Documentary HD Within our immense universe lies a lesser-known world of tiny particles. From strange neutrinos that [More]
The Known Universe shows the known universe as mapped through astronomical observations and takes viewers from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and the inky black of space to the afterglow of the Big Bang. Every star, planet, and quasar seen in the film is possible because of the world’s most complete four-dimensional map of the universe, the Digital Universe Atlas that is maintained and updated by astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. The new film, created by the Museum, is part of an exhibition, Visions of the Cosmos: From the Milky Ocean to an Evolving Universe, at the [More]
