SPACE VIDEOS FOR KIDS

The sun’s enormous mass and gravitational power locks the planets in their orbits. If the sun disappeared, the earth would fly off in a straight line into space. Earth would collapse into darkness only after 8 minutes, as sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach earth. Moon would disappear as it doesn’t produce light of its own. Plants would die, as no sunlight means no photosynthesis. Within a week, earth’s temperature would drop below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, dropping to negative 100 degrees Fahrenheit within a year, making it impossible for us to survive. Ocean surfaces would freeze, however, water in the interior would stay liquid, due to heat from the Earth’s core. Only microorganisms who don’t require photosynthesis, would survive by converting core’s heat into the energy they need. Thus, without the sun, humans wouldn’t exist.

Kids will have a blast learning about Betelgeuse, the red supergiant star that's scheduled to become a supernova sometime within the next 100,000 or so years! Enjoy learning these Betelgeuse facts with this upbeat and informative tune. For more info and music, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse! Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse The red supergiant! Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse In the constellation Orion Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse Both brighter and bigger than the sun Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse Just saying its name is fun! Betelgeuse is a red supergiant really bright Means something really gross when it's not spelled right People knew about the star even in ancient times Guys like Ptolemy and others who were studying astronomy But Sir John Herschel was the first one on the list To describe its brightness cycles in 1836 And it's in the constellation called Orion It's been hard for scientists to measure it but they keep trying Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse The red supergiant! Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse In the constellation Orion Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse Both brighter and bigger than the sun Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse Just saying its name is fun! Betelgeuse is about 600 light years away Some people think it's closer depending on its brightness that day That's always the problem with a variable star It's a bit of a challenge to tell how far off they are For those who wanna know Betelgeuse facts & figures We'll start by saying that it's 1,400 times bigger than the sun And it has 20 times more mass And belongs to the spectral class m2lab Scientists believe it's in its final stages And once it explodes, a supernova is created But that won't happen till it's probably much older When it does, Orion's gonna need a new shoulder! Yeah, Orion's gonna need a new shoulder! Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse The red supergiant! Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse In the constellation Orion Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse Both brighter and bigger than the sun Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse Just saying its name is fun!

This fun and catchy tune will teach you lots of cool facts about UY Scuti, the super-big red hypergiant star. For more music and info, please visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com. Lyrics: U-Y S-C-U-T-I U-Y S-C-U-T-I UY Scuti, UY Scuti UY Scuti, UY Scuti UY Scuti is the largest known star in the Milky Way, with a diameter over 1,700 times greater than the sun! Near the center of the Milky Way, with the Eagle Nebula nearby 9,500 light years away is the star we call UY Scuti It's the brightest looking star we've discovered so far, 1860 was the year it was found Its location is the Scutum Constellation and it seems to be the biggest around UY Scuti used to be called BD-12 5055, but we're glad they changed it, because that wouldn't be any fun to sing! UY Scuti, UY Scuti German astronomers discovered it first from the Bonn Observatory They found it in the Zone of Avoidance where the stardust makes it really cloudy Five billion times the volume of our sun, and it's near Sagittarius A* UY is a red hypergiant, super-big and super-far away UY Scuti, UY Scuti UY Scuti, UY Scuti Copyright 2019 Silly School Songs.

Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. It is not considered a planet anymore because in 2006, astronomers of IAU (International Astronomical Union) gave a new definition to the word 'planet'. According to the new definition, a planet is a celestial body which is in orbit around the sun, is spherical in shape and it has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit. What does this mean? It basically means that using its gravity, a planet should have removed asteroids and dwarf planets, out of its path, thus cleared its neighborhood. Now, Pluto is in orbit around the sun and is spherical in shape. But since Pluto's neighborhood has many other objects and it has not cleared its neighborhood. It is not called a planet anymore.

Rocks and soil on Mars mostly contain iron. Experts suggest that iron reacts with atmospheric oxygen, forming reddish iron oxide or rust on the surface, thus making Mars appear red. However, on observing closely through rovers, some areas are brown, green, butterscotch-colored, etc. Still, overall, Mars appears red, because dust storms, which last for weeks or months, kick up the rust into the atmosphere giving it a reddish color.

Stars are like huge balls of fire that emit a tremendous amount of heat and light. Stars don't form in a few seconds, minutes or hours. Star formation process is so slow that it can take millions of years. A star begins its life inside vast molecular clouds of dust and gas. These molecular clouds are also known as nebulae or dark nebulae. They mostly contain hydrogen and helium molecules along with some other particles. Normally, these molecular clouds are cold and stable. However, a nearby supernova explosion or galactic collision may send a shockwave or tremendous amount of energy through a molecular cloud. Now, in the molecular cloud, this energy causes a gravitational disturbance due to which it begins to collapse on itself under its own gravity, causing hydrogen and helium to clump together and thus, increasing the mass in the center of the cloud. This increase in mass, increases the gravitational pull, thus attracting even more molecules and particles from the surrounding. As more and more molecules and particles collapse or fall into the center of the cloud, the center begins to heat up. This heated center or heated core is known as a protostar. A protostar continues to pull more molecules and gets hotter and hotter until the temperature and pressure reach to such an extent that hydrogen nuclei begin to fuse with one another producing helium and releasing heat, light and radiation. This process called nuclear fusion. When this happens, the inward force of gravity is exactly balanced by the outward force created by heat and radiation. These inward and outward forces maintain balance and thus, a star is born. Also, don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel.

About 180 craters appear on the moon every year, not to mention being hit by golf ball-sized meteors all year long. How do we stay protected?

A lunar day lasts for 14 Earth days, but night can be just as long. Is solar energy our best bet for powering the moon base? And how do we make it last?

Just one year on the moon maxes out the amount of solar radiation we can handle over a lifetime. What’s the best sunscreen for moon life?

The aim of the moon mission is to research how to live on other planets. That means not only experimenting on the environment – but also on ourselves!

Getting stuff done on the moon requires more effort than what the first settlers can manage by themselves. Robots to the rescue!

Packed with black hole facts, The Black Hole Song will teach you all about the three different types of black holes, how black holes form, and more. Enjoy! For more music and information, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Black hole, a region in space Where gravity is so strong, nothing can escape Black hole, you know that place Where matter is squeezed in a tiny space Black hole, a region in space Where stars collapse and fade away Black hole, you know that place Where matter disappears without a trace Ever wonder what happens, when a star collapses? A black hole! Gravity starts pulling, and all the matter gets trapped in, never to be seen again! Like water going down the drain, when you pull the plug in the tub it's insane How a black hole pulls all the matter around Into a region of space that can't be found A giant star casts out its outer layers Leaving the core, which collapses in on itself And forms a black hole Black hole, a region in space Where gravity is so strong, nothing can escape Black hole, you know that place Where matter is squeezed in a tiny space Black hole, a region in space Where stars collapse and fade away Black hole, you know that place Where matter disappears without a trace There are three types of black holes: Stellar and supermassive and miniature (Whoa!) So a black hole can be small? As tiny as one single atom (That's all??!??) Yeah! But they can be really big too! Supermassive black holes are the ones that are super-huge And then stellar black holes are the ones That come from dying stars much bigger than our Sun Sagittarius A is a supermassive black hole in the middle of the Milky Way We will never reach it, because we are too far away Black hole, a region in space Where gravity is so strong, nothing can escape Black hole, you know that place Where matter is squeezed in a tiny space Black hole, a region in space Where stars collapse and fade away Black hole, you know that place Where matter disappears without a trace Copyright 2018 Silly School Songs.

For more music and information, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Can you tell us what the Oort Cloud is? It's a really big space bubble kids Can you tell us how the Oort Cloud works? Just a second, here comes the first verse Oort Cloud, strange little name We're not sure it's even there which is just as strange It's a theory of a really big cloud That surrounds our solar system all the way around Like a space bubble made of rocks and ice Some of the comets that you see come from it (that's nice!) It's way beyond what we call the heliosphere That means the Sun and all the planets are nowhere near! The Oort Cloud is a bubble in space that our solar system lives inside At least that's what the scientists tell us, but nobody really knows if they're right (It's a theory!) Can you tell us what the Oort Cloud is? It's a really big space bubble kids Can you tell us how the Oort Cloud works? Just a second, here comes the second verse Jan Oort of astronomy fame Came up with the idea of the cloud (hence the name!) He was also the first one to state That the Milky Way rotates (and that's great!) The Oort cloud is made of two parts: An inner disc and an outer sphere both really far away In a place called interstellar space Even though it's not confirmed it's the theory of the day! Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is and we know how it works now Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is and we know how it works now Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is and we know how it works now Double-O, r-t cloud We know what it is, it's a big space bubble!

What toys do Astronauts play with in space? Aboard the International Space Station, Expedition 53 Commander Randy Bresnik and Flight Engineer Joe Acaba of NASA discussed life and research on the orbital outpost during an in-flight educational event Oct. 6 with students at the Gaylord St. Mary Cathedral School in Gaylord, Michigan. One young students asks what toys astronauts play with in space. Bresnik launched to the station in July and is scheduled to be on station through mid-December, while Acaba is in the first month of a planned five-and-a-half month mission on the laboratory. On March 2017, after agreements with RSA, NASA announced that Joseph Acaba will be assigned to Expedition 53 and 54 crews which previously included only Mark Vande Hei and Alexander Misurkin. Shannon Walker will train as a backup for Acaba.

Kids will enjoy learning all about the asteroid belt with this funky and catchy tune. For more music and information, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: There's a ring of rocks in outer space Called the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It goes around the Sun like a big highway It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt Between Mars and Jupiter is where it dwells The asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It has millions of rocks from what we can tell It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt The word asteroid means star-like William Herschel gave them that name when he observed them on a dark night And they exist in a disc in the inner Solar System Where they drift and even get into collisions On occasion and they break into pieces Adding to the asteroid population And now there's millions of them in the belt 200 million miles from the Sun, they're not gonna melt! There's a ring of rocks in outer space Called the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It goes around the Sun like a huge highway The asteroid belt, the asteroid belt Between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It's circumstellar, because it circles a star The asteroid belt, the asteroid belt One asteroid in particular, Ceres Is the largest in the Inner Solar System (Clearly!) They also call it a dwarf planet Of all the mass in the asteroid belt, it's 33 percent! But then there's Vesta, Pallas and Hygiea Second, third and fourth largest is the idea Altogether they make up about half Of the asteroid belt's mass, see ya later class! What's that ring of rocks in outer space? It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt It orbits the sun like a big highway It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt Hanging out between Jupiter and Mars It's the asteroid belt, the asteroid belt If the belt is a highway the asteroids are cars on The asteroid belt, the asteroid BELT!!!!

Kids will learn all kinds of fun facts about the Kuiper Belt with this upbeat, jazzy/bluesy tune. Hope you enjoy it! For more info and music, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: The Kuiper Belt is a ring of icy objects in space (A whole bunch of rocks and ice!) It's not a belt that you can wear around your waist (It doesn't even have a buckle!) It's in the outer solar system, and it has a doughnut shape (Too bad there's no jelly!) The Kuiper Belt is 4 billion miles from the Sun (That's a loooong way away!) Scientists still don't know how it was formed (All they can do is guess!) It's that icy cold place that all the plutinos call home (Including Pluto, it's the largest, baby!) New Horizons is the first mission to the Kuiper Belt (It's all about that flyby) It's the place where Pluto Haumea and Makemake dwell (We call 'em the dwarf planets!) More than 100,000 KBOs are hanging out there (FYI, that stands for Kuiper Belt Objects!) Gerard Kuiper is the astronomer for which it was named (Kenneth Edgeworth helped out too) Fragments of rock and ice are what it contains (Not a whole lot going on out there) The main ingredients are ammonia, water and methane (Keyboard solo time!)
