Did you know many skyscrapers have thousands of gallons of water, or giant weights suspended among the top floors? What's up with that? Watch to find out! #STEMvee #Engineering #Buildings #Skyscrapers #MassDamper #Physics — Transcript + Video Description: youtu.be/TzYrTPZbh9g

The Hubble Space Telescope has been exploring the universe for over 30 years! Launched in 1990, Hubble orbits Earth at 5 miles per second, fast enough to cross the U.S. in just 10 minutes! It captures images of stars, galaxies trillions of miles away, and even comets crashing into Jupiter.

Which animal has fingerprints almost identical to humans?! Studies show that fingerprints may not create friction alone—but when combined with sweat, those tiny grooves help us (and this mystery animal) maintain grip on surfaces. #258STEMFacts #STEMinASL #AnimalScience #Fingerprints

The Three Gorges Dam in China is the world’s largest hydroelectric power station. Water falling over the dam spins turbines, which generate electricity without polluting the environment. #Hydropower #RenewableEnergy #258STEMFacts #CleanEnergy #ScienceIsCool #STEMinASL

What happens when you mix red (hot) and blue (cold) water? You’d expect purple… but not this time! Because hot water is less dense than cold water, the layers stay separate instead of mixing. This reel (@mrs.b.tv) shows the same principle explains how warm and cold fronts form in Earth’s atmosphere.

Bet you can’t guess how many drops of blood fit on a penny… This video stitch (@mrs.b.tv) explains how surface tension, adhesion and cohesion work together! #258STEMFacts #Remix #SpookyScience #STEMFun The video description and transcript is available to read here: tinyurl.com/mpk6ftse

Let’s make ghost guts (a.k.a. oobleck)! This video stitch (@mrs.b.tv) explains how cornstarch + water = squishy non-Newtonian fluid science slime! Liquid when you pour it, solid when you squeeze it… spooky! #258STEMFacts #Remix #SpookyScience #STEMFun #Oobleck

Transcript: Where am I? I'm in Huntsville, Alabama. Why is Huntsville signed this way? Huntsville is known for rocket production and for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, where they work with the International Space Station (ISS). (1/4)

Because of "relative velocity time dilation", the high-speeds that astronauts aboard the ISS are traveling mean that time slows down for them relative to people on the surface of the Earth. (3/4)
