European Space Agency, ESA

Welcome to the YouTube channel of the European Space Agency - ESA.

ESA is Europe's gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe's space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world.

SPACE exploration is a collective journey. This is why 23 European countries are pooling resources, putting Europe at the forefront of space science, technology and applications.

SPACE also means fun. Our team produces clips with the best images of Earth and of the Universe, with astronauts and other space events for you to watch and share.

PBS Space Time

Space Time explores the outer reaches of space, the craziness of astrophysics, the possibilities of sci-fi, and anything else you can think of beyond Planet Earth with our astrophysicist host: Matthew O’Dowd.

For all business inquiries and sponsorship opportunities please reach out to: [email protected]

Matt O'Dowd spends his time studying the universe, especially really far-away things like quasars, super-massive black holes, and evolving galaxies. He uses telescopes in space to do it. Matt completed his Ph.D. at NASA's Space Telescope Science Institute, followed by work at the University of Melbourne and Columbia University. He's now a professor at the City University of New York's Lehman College and an Associate at the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium.

Previous host Gabe Perez-Giz is an astrophysicist who studies black hole physics. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia University and also hosted PBS Infinite Series.

Dr Becky

Real science, from a real scientist. I'm an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford making videos explaining the Universe. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me!

My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.

I have also written a few books.: "A Brief History of Black Holes" (available in hardback, paperback, e-book, and audio - self-narrated) "Space: 10 Things You Should Know" (available in hardback, paperback, e-book, and audio - self-narrated) "Space at the Speed of Light" is the US title of Space: 10 Things You Should Know

Cool Worlds

Space, astronomy, exoplanets, astroengineering and the search for extraterrestrial life & intelligence.

The Cool Worlds Lab (http://coolworldslab.com), based at the Department of Astronomy, Columbia University, is a team of astronomers seeking to discover and understand alien worlds, particularly those where temperatures are cool enough for life, led by Professor David Kipping.

Astrum

How big is the Solar System? What actually orbits our Sun? Why should I even be interested in space? On this channel, we'll answer these and a whole host of other questions. We will have a series dedicated to each of our planets and showcase beautiful images and videos captured by probes and spacecraft of our amazing Solar System.

SEA

I make chilled out videos about all things space-related. I don't use AI or do promotional content. Hope you like what you see, thanks for stopping by!

History of the Universe

Created and narrated by David Kelly. I am also behind History of Humankind and Voices of the Past. I also run History of the Earth with my brother Peter - who is History Time too.

The entire history of the universe, one trillionth of a second at a time.

NASA

NASA's mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research.

To do that, we have worked around the world—and off it—for more than 60 years, searching for answers to fundamental questions about our place in the universe. We're exploring space and discovering Earth. Join us on this exciting and important journey.

NASA Goddard

Your friendly neighborhood space flight center. 👩‍🔬🚀

NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is home to the nation's largest organization of combined scientists, engineers and technologists that build spacecraft, instruments and new technology to study Earth, the Sun, our solar system and the universe.

Named for American rocketry pioneer Dr. Robert H. Goddard, the center was established in 1959 as NASA's first space flight complex. Goddard and its several facilities are critical in carrying out NASA's missions of space exploration and scientific discovery.

Watch for the latest in NASA's research into planetary science, astrophysics, Earth observing, and solar science.

Fermilab

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is America's particle physics and accelerator lab. Founded as the National Accelerator Laboratory in 1967, it was renamed after physicist Enrico Fermi in 1974. Since its inception, Fermilab has been a world leader in particle physics, with discoveries including the bottom quark, top quark and tau neutrino, three of the elementary particles that make up our universe.

Fermilab is home to approximately 1,700 scientists, engineers, technicians and support staff, and hosts about 2,500 visiting scientists from around the world. The laboratory is managed by the Fermi Forward Discovery Group for the U.S. Department of Energy. More information can be found at www.fnal.gov.
