Welcome


The title says it all: this blog features physics videos found everywhere on the web: animations, demonstrations, lectures, documentaries.
Please go here if you want to suggest other nice physics videos, and here if I mistakingly infringed your copyrights. If you understand French, you'll find a huge selection of physics videos in French in my other blog Vidéos de Physique.

NASA uses fly bys or gravity assists all the time, but what's actually going on? For more, including some links to mission proposals that take advantage of fly bys, check out my latest post over on Vintage Space.
