Rewriting Stonehenge's history (UCL)
Professor Mike Parker Pearson (UCL Archaeology) re-evaluates the timeline of Stonehenge's construction and sheds light on how it was used. The first Stonehenge began life as a cemetery with the original stone circle built 500 years before the version that we know today.
Professor Parker Pearson and his team also discovered that the second stage of Stonehenge (the iconic sarsen stone circle) was built 200 years earlier than thought, about 2500 BCE.

The Drop and Upward Throw of a Ball are Very Similar
Previously we determined the motion graphs for dropping a ball from 2.0 meters and throwing a ball up to 2.0 meters and catching it again. In this video I show that the reverse of the drop coupled with the drop itself is the same thing as throwing the ball upward. Make sense? Okay, watch the video.

0:13 Reviewing the previous graphs
0:25 The drop is the same as the 2nd half of the drop

What is Space? Where does it Begin? - What is Astronomy - MoT Basics of Astronomy
Justin Higgins discusses how the start of space is hard to define because the atmospheres density changes as you go higher in altitude. But, we need a defined place where it does begin, and we decide to make that difference where we stop being able to use an airplanes wing to achieve flight and start having to use rockets: The Karman Line.
