Aside from a couple particularly nasty collisions, dead satellites comprise the bulk of our planet’s space junk problem — as they die, get fried by radiation and become zombies, or are decommissioned, there’s nowhere for them to go. ViviSat aims to change that by servicing satellites where they are, pushing them into new orbits and allowing them to live longer.

Just how small are atoms? And what's inside them? The answers turn out to be astounding, even for those who think they know. This fast-paced animation uses spectacular metaphors (imagine a blueberry the size of a football stadium!) to give a visceral sense of the building blocks that make our world. Lesson by Jonathan Bergmann, animation by Cognitive Media.

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured imagery of a Red Planet dust devil on March 14, 2012. Different from a tornado, this phenomena sometimes occurs on clear days when the heated surface interacts with pockets of cool air above it.

Animation depicts the proposed test flight of the Orion spacecraft in 2014. Orion is NASA's new spacecraft that'll take humans beyond low-Earth orbit. During the test, called Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1), Orion will launch from Cape Canaveral, Fla., perform two orbits, then re-enter and set down in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of the U. S. Narrated by Jay Estes, deputy for Orion's flight test integration.

Abigail Black's curator insight,
December 9, 2014 3:36 PM
This video was short but did a great job of depicting the symptoms of schizophrenia and touched on things that can be done with help people with this disorder, such as, taking their medication and being aware that there are people and resources that can help them. This video depicted some delusions, which are false beliefs of reality (Lilienfeld, 2010) This video is a reasonable source of showing what its like for a schizophrenic and depicted very well the symptoms of this disorder. It stated how sometimes people are okay with this order, but can spiral out of control in an instance. It showed how the anxiety can cause distance between people and those that they care about. The stick figure in this video was a boy but did not account for how the disorder effects men and women. There was no account for gender differences or sexual orientation.

1. This was an effective simple way to describe schizophrenia. It is fun to watch but also informative. 2. They say that Mark stopped taking his meds and sometimes he's okay when he doesn't but sometimes it gets bad. That suggests that the meds do help (Tartakovsky, 2010). It also shows him hallucinating a wolf chasing him and a whale eating him. That correlates with what Myers (2014) says, that schizophrenia can lead to hallucinations and anxiety about things that only the victim of the illness can see or feel (Myers, 2014). 3. There was no diversity that was addressed in this video. 4. Myers, D. G. (2014). Exploring psychology in modules: With dsm5 update. S.l.: Worth Pub.
