How does Starlink Satellite Internet Work?
Branch Education – With Starlink internet, data is continuously being sent between a ground dish and a Starlink satellite orbiting 550km above. Furthermore, the Starlink satellite zooms across the sky at 27,000km/hr! How can the dish and satellite maintain a continuous connection? And then how is data sent back and forth? Well, in this video we're going to dive into the inner workings for the ground dish and Starlink satellites, and see how a beam of data is formed, how this beam is swept across the sky, and then finally what exactly is in that beam that allows for incredibly fast internet! This is an incredible feat of technology and engineering, so stick around!

Geostationary satellite
Geostationary satellite
Alexander C – A geostationary orbit is directly above the Earth's equator, with a period equal to the Earth's rotational period and an orbital eccentricity of approximately zero. Geostationary objects appear motionless in the sky, making such orbits of great interest to operators of communications and weather satellites.

Why Are Astronauts Weightless?
Why Are Astronauts Weightless?
Veritasium – In this segment I ask why astronauts in the space station are weightless. The most common answer is because there is no gravity in space. But of course there is gravity in space, especially where the space station is located (only about 400km from Earth's surface). So astronauts still experience a gravitational pull - it's just that they and the space station are in free fall so they are accelerating together towards the Earth. The space station doesn't crash into the Earth because of its orbital velocity - it's going 28,000 km/h so as it falls, the Earth curves away from it.
