  1. The genesis of the galaxy in 60 seconds - Scott Hershberger

    The genesis of the galaxy in 60 seconds - Scott Hershberger

    Explore the ever-evolving structure of the Milky Way galaxy, and find out how it got its spiral shape.--Thirteen billion years ago, the gas and dust particles that eventually became our Milky Way were whizzing around in every direction. Despite the wild motion of its parts, the galaxy as a whole was rotating about an axis. So why did the Milky Way, like most galaxies, become flat, and not spherical like stars and planets? Scott Hershberger explores the ever-evolving structure of our galaxy.Lesson by Scott Hershberger, directed by Josh O'Caoimh, Mikai Geronimo.Support Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-did-the-milky-way-get-its-shape-scott-hershbergerDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-did-the-milky-way-get-its-shape-scott-hershberger/digdeeperAnimator's website: https://redhand.pictures----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!

From 300 BCE to the 1900s, if you answered yes to any of these questions and you had a uterus, a doctor would likely diagnose you with hysteria. So, where did this medical diagnosis come from? And why did it persist for so long? Mark S. Micale traces the history of the catch-all term.Lesson by Mark S.

    Can you solve the human cannonball riddle? - Alex Rosenthal

    Practice more problem-solving at https://brilliant.org/TedEd--They call you the human cannonball. Your act involves flying through rings of fire, bouncing through a trampoline course, and catching the trapezist in the grand finale. Today’s pre-flight test fails dramatically, and upon inspection, your cannon has clearly been sabotaged. Unfortunately, it’s too late to abort the launch. Can you fix it in time to catch the trapezist? Alex Rosenthal shows how.Lesson by Alex Rosenthal, directed by Igor Coric, Artrake Studio.This riddle is adapted from a puzzle that appears in Boris A.

Many of its particular qualities stem from the fact that it consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen, therefore creating an unequal sharing of electrons. From fish in frozen lakes to ice floating on water, Christina Kleinberg describes the effects of polarity.Lesson by Christina Kleinberg, animation by Alan Foreman. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Why did it take such a long time to find giant squids? - Anna Rothschild

    Dive into the deep sea to find giant squids, and explore what scientists have learned about these mysterious creatures.--In 1873, fishermen glimpsed what they thought was a shipwreck. But when they probed the mass, it moved— and huge, serpentine appendages soon besieged their boat. One fisherman took an axe to the animal, and it disappeared in a cloud of ink, leaving behind definitive evidence that giant squids were more than mythical monsters. So, what do we know about these creatures? Anna Rothschild investigates.Lesson by Anna Rothschild, directed by Vitalii Nebelskyi, and action creative agency.This video made possible in collaboration with OceanX Education.
