In this lesson, you will learn about the planets in our solar system, how they orbit the Sun, and where the Earth is positioned.

Harrison wants to go to space, but first he'll have to learn how to float in zero gravity, sleep standing up and figure out how a rocket works.

Get ready to blast into space as the Art Crew explore the wonder and beauty of our solar system. They create colourful paper solar systems with chalk and neon pens on black card.

Come outside. Look up at the Milky Way, sweeping from the southwest horizon to the northeast. All you need for a good night's viewing is yourself, a good idea of where south and east are, and your hands.

The overview effect describes the feeling astronauts experienced while looking back at the small dot of earth, our home in the magnitude of space.

This episode is all about the Apollo 11 moon landing. We find out about the space race, what important role Australia played on the day and what the future of space exploration might look like.

Find out what a super blue blood moon is, enrol in Mars Class, and get some good news about the ozone layer. There's also a look at how the late Stephen Hawking changed scientific thinking.

A high-energy, fun way for upper primary and secondary students to learn about current issues and events in their world. Each program is built around major news stories of the week.

Find out what's going on in the world with these explainers designed for children, featuring stories that are relevant and easy to understand.

Super Nova, Dwarf Stars, Black Holes, Quasars and Nebulae. Deep Space is home to some pretty peculiar things. Join Dr Rob as he goes for a trek through the stars, a universal voyage, and a cosmic expedition to SCOPE out the science of deep space!

Scope in Space: Strap in and prepare for launch as Scope rockets off-planet for this special episode all about space! Dr Rob catches up with Australia's very own astronaut; Andy Thomas, we learn everything there is to know about black holes and we discover how the rockets of the future could be reusable! Aussie Astronaut: Andy Thomas grew up in Adelaide dreaming of flying in space. And then he did, not once, but four times! Dr Rob catches up with this real-life astronaut to find out exactly what it's like to float in micro-gravity! Black Holes 101: Black holes appear a lot in science fiction but how much of that translates into science fact? Join Prof Tamara Davis from the University of Queensland as she explores one of the coolest celestial phenomenon in the galaxy. DIY Science - Constellation Geo-board: There are billions of stars in the night sky and some of these stars can form patterns called constellations. Join junior scientist Joel as he shows you how to build a tool to help you identify these stellar arrangements! Gravitational Waves: Dr Rob heads out of the bunker and to the Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex to catch up with Glen Nagle as they discuss the latest and greatest discovery in the field of astrophysics; gravitational waves! Reusable Rockets: Rockets are engineering wonders, but they can usually only be used once! Prof Michael Smart from the University of Queensland is hoping to change all that with a rocket prototype which can be reused time and time again! All that and more on an out-of-this-world episode of SCOPE: where the ordinary becomes extraordinary!

What makes the stars twinkle? Why is the sky blue? What is a black hole? From astronomer Dr Alan Duffy's space lab, these questions and more are answered as host Grace Koh is launched into outer space.

Dr Duffy knows a lot about the eight planets in our solar system, but which is his favourite? See if you can guess as he takes Grace on the ultimate space adventure.

Monitoring Earth from space. A constellation of artificial satellites keep an eye on our planet. They help predict our weather and the threat of tornadoes, floods and drought. Telecommunications depend on satellites. Shipping and road traffic navigate by satellite. Spies in the sky monitor farm crops, pests, forest fires, volcanoes and oil slicks. And with growing importance, satellites watch for climate change, melting icecaps, drying-up lakes and holes in the ozone layer.

Discovery - History Of Astronomy The history of astronomy. From the Babylonians and ancient Chinese, the first astronomers, to the Egyptians, who created our calendar of 365 days, and the Greeks who discovered Earth is round. Copernicus, in the 16th century, worked out that the planets orbit the Sun. Galileo first used a telescope on the sky. Isaac Newton improved it - and described the effects of gravity. In the 20th century, Edwin Hubble revealed an ever-expanding Universe - into which today we peer ever deeper Whither - Man On The Moon, Next Stop Mars The story of manned spaceflight. With the German Werner von Braun launching American rocketry and Sergei Korolev masterminding the Soviet space programme, the Russians put the first cosmonaut in space and the Americans the first astronaut on the Moon. Then came America’s Space Shuttle and the development of orbiting space stations, largely by the Russians. Today, with the International Space Station proving troublesome, a look at future space travel to the Moon, Mars and beyond

Alex, Rachael, Kiya and Jemima fly the Explorer Mobile to the moon. Dr Karl and Rachael have fun testing the Bottle Diver experiment. Through the windows, we explore a colourful coral reef.

Emma and Alex decorate the Explorer Mobile launch pad. Kiya and Jemima go whale watching. Dr Karl explains how red crabs on Christmas Island cross roads safely. Through The Windows we learn about astronauts.

Matt and Alex experiment with making craters, go on a journey in a cardboard box submarine, and tell an entertaining story about Miss Octopus! Through the Windows we discover some amazing sea life.

BtN explains just how many satellites there are in space as SpaceX launches 60 new satellites into orbit and why experts think we should limit the number. Introduced beavers in the English countryside have been allowed to stay after a court ruling. In more animal news there's chicken racing, a cavoodle in the snow and a rhino calf at Monarto zoo.
