Скачать или смотреть 3 Real Space Facts from Star Wars

Ever wonder how much of Star Wars is based on real science? In this video, we explore three iconic space ideas from the galaxy far, far away—and uncover the surprising truths behind them.

We break down what a parsec really is (spoiler: it’s not a measure of time), investigate whether planets like Tatooine with two suns could exist, and reveal a stunning new discovery about Saturn’s moon Mimas—the so-called “Death Star” moon—which may actually be hiding a massive underground ocean.

Whether you're a science lover, a Star Wars fan, or both, this video bridges pop culture and astrophysics in a fun, fact-based journey through space.
