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.

Even daily communication changes when living on the moon. Without air to carry our voices, we might rely on lasers to beam our message home.

Since the moon is as dry as Earth’s driest desert, we’ll have to bring water with us. The water recycling system used on the ISS can help our supply last.

The Airbus Foundation Discovery Space is the place to learn how things fly, how they land, and even more.

Flying to the moon is tricky business, especially since you can’t just head in a direct line. How can you plan your trajectory to the moon?

A manned spacecraft needs a soft landing, but it’s all in the timing. Fire up your thrusters and hope you’ve picked the right spot to touch down.

Holding our breath isn’t an option on the moon, we need sources of oxygen to sustain life. Let’s start by importing some plants to help us breathe easy.

There are only so many groceries you can bring to the moon, so how do you produce food in a place with no air? Here’s now to cultivate lunar food sources.

One Earthling’s trash is another astronaut’s treasure. We can turn waste products into valuable sources of heat and fuel, and recycled materials.

An entirely new landscape awaits when you land on the moon. Will you choose one of the poles or dig underground – where will your moon village be?

When you think of building, you probably think of bricks – but moon rock is an entirely different material. So what’s the best way to build on the moon?

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!

Top tips for an unforgettable moon adventure include impact craters housing ancient organisms from the days of the universe’s creation.

How best to travel on the moon with rocks, boulders and craters in our way? And when settlements expand, what will our lunar infrastructure look like?

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.

Kids will enjoy learning about the mysterious Oort Cloud with this fun and funky tune. This Oort Cloud song for kids explains the theory of this interesting interstellar phenomenon. 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!)

Learn all about what a solar eclipse is with this fun and whimsical tune. The Solar Eclipse Song teaches basic facts about this amazing natural phenomenon. This song mainly focuses on total solar eclipses, because let's face it--they're the coolest ones. Enjoy! For more music and info, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: What's a solar eclipse, you say? It's a cool trick that nature plays It's when the Moon happens to find its way Between the Earth and the Sun (All up in the middle) Eclipses have been going on a really long time Before science came along it used blow people's minds They would freak out and think that the world was gonna end I can imagine I would too if the Sun went dim And no one could tell me what in the world was going on!!! (That would be so crazy) So a solar eclipse you see Is a natural phenomenon and nothing scary The moon has to be at perigee For it to happen at all (If it's gonna happen that's the only way) If you're not familiar with that word (Perigee) It's the closest that the Moon gets to the Earth The opposite is apogee, which is the word For when it's farthest away (hey, hey) A total eclipse is when the moon's silhouette Seems bigger than the Sun but lest we forget The Sun is still a lot bigger it's just farther away And an eclipse is cool, so it's really okay It doesn't matter which one is bigger anyway They're all special in their own way (That's the truth, yeah) Hope you enjoyed this song about solar eclipses...

Satellite: A celestial body orbiting a larger celestial body. Orbit: The path followed by one object revolving around another object under the influence of gravity. Barycenter: The center of mass that two or more bodies orbit around. Binary System: A system in which two similarly sized object orbit the same barycenter. Hydrostatic equilibrium: Roundness that occurs when gravity is balanced by a pressure gradient force. ___________________________________________ If you liked this week’s video, you might also like: That’s no moon … it’s a space station! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGp_5gOww0E.

This song is all about the Milky Way galaxy--you know, the one we all live in. 🙂 This Milky Way song for kids is full of fun and interesting facts about the Milky Way galaxy, and it's a pretty catchy tune as well. Hope you enjoy it! For more music and info, visit http://sillyschoolsongs.com Lyrics: Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way) What discoveries can we make today (make today) A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars) Just don't confuse it with the candy bar (candy bar) The Milky Way is a galaxy Stars, dust and gas bound together by gravity And it spins like a pinwheel The Orion Arm is where our solar system chills And it's rotating pretty fast 10,000 miles an hour (But what about solar mass?) It's the size of 100 billion suns And it's made of several swirling arms The Milky Way sounds kinda dreamy But it's a mass of space stuff not sweet and creamy Like the candy bar with the caramel and the nougat It's a barred spiral galaxy with stars running through it By the billions, nobody knows just how many Suffice it to say, there are stars aplenty And it's 100,000 light years wide That's trillions of miles from side to side Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way) What discoveries can we make today (make today) A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars) Just don't confuse it with the candy bar (candy bar) Announcer Guy: Astronomers used to think that the Milky Way contained all the stars in the Universe, But after 1920 it was discovered that the Milky Way is just one of many galaxies! The center of the Milky Way is a riddle There's a really strong radio source in the middle Sagittarius A* is what it's called It's a supermassive black hole It's very dense because of its gravitation And it gives off electromagnetic radiation But don't worry, Planet Earth is safe Because we're 26,000 light-years away! Let's take a journey through the Milky Way (Milky Way) What discoveries can we make today (make today) A spiral galaxy with planets and stars (planets and stars) Our song is done, so let's eat that candy bar (candy bar) Copyright 2017 Silly School Songs.
