Stars die. At some point in the next few billion years or so our Sun is going to start heating up, using up all the fuel in its core, and then eventually die, becoming a white dwarf. It’ll then slowly cool down to the background temperature of the Universe, becoming a black dwarf. Let’s learn about this fascinating process.
So have you heard the news? Of course you have. Evidence of phosphene on Venus. Which could be a biosignature of life on our evil twin planet. There have been a lot of surprising stories about Venus, so let’s get you all caught up!
Every 2 years or so Mars lines up nicely with the Earth. And it’s the best time to send your spacecraft to the Red Planet.
Neptune has a controversial story about its discovery, some of the strongest winds in the solar system and some weird moons.
This week, we’re on to the next planet in the solar system. The blue gas planet. Today we’ll cover its faint rings, sideways axis of rotation and its rocky core.
This week we’re going to just talk about Jupiter, and then next week, we’re going to cover its moons.

Today we talk about our own home world: Earth. You might think you know the planet beneath your feet, but it’s actually one of the most interesting and dynamic places in the Solar System.
Last week we talked about Mercury, so this week our planetary parade proceeds to Venus. It’s the brightest object in the sky, the hottest object in the solar system, and it’s probably one of the most deadly places to go and visit.
