This video feed comes from a camera looking upward from the bottom of a hole that has just been drilled through the ice using a jet of warm water; the jet creates a scalloped pattern as it swirls downward.
A crustacean known as a Lyssianasid amphipod (orange blob swimming around) startled scientists who were peering at this camera feed from an underwater hole drilled through the Antarctic ice.
This video clip, narrated by solar physicist David Hathaway, explains the links between sunspots, solar magnetic fields and the sun’s outer atmosphere.
A lopsided disk of stars forms around a supermassive black hole in this simulation. The lopsided disk reduces the rotational motion of gas, allowing it to fall into and fuel the black hole.
