POP! The Science of Bubbles

Physicist Dr Helen Czerski takes us on a journey into the science of bubbles

Physicist Dr Helen Czerski takes us on an amazing journey into the science of bubbles. Bubbles may seem to be just fun toys, but they are also powerful tools that push back the boundaries of science.

The soap bubble with its delicate, fragile skin tells us about how nature works on scales as large as solar system and as small as a single wavelength of light. Then there are underwater bubbles, which matter because they are part of the how … Ler mais

Orbit: Earth’s Extraordinary Journey

Join Kate Humble and Dr Helen Czerski as they explore the relationship between the Earth's orbit and the weather

Orbit: Earth’s Extraordinary Journey is a BBC documentary series presented by Kate Humble and Helen Czerski which aired in 2012. Running for three 60 minute episodes, the series focuses on Earth’s orbit around the Sun and its effect on humans, the climate, and geological features.

Right now you’re hurtling around the sun at 64,000 miles an hour (100,000 km an hour). In the next year you’ll travel 584 million miles, to end up back where you started.

The Secret Life of the Sun

Kate Humble and Helen Czerski reveal the inner workings of the sun and investigate why scientists think changes in the sun's behaviour may have powerful effects on our climate

90 million miles away from us is the power that shapes our world – the sun. We see it shine in the sky above us, but beyond our sight something dramatic is happening – the sun is going into overdrive.

It’s more active now that it’s been for a decade, sending eruptions of super-heated plasma and vast waves of radiation towards our planet. With the potential to disrupt our lives in dramatic ways.

Using the latest satellite images, and the … Ler mais
