One, Crash Course, Astronomy is designed as an AP-level series with 10- to 12-minute episodes. It's hosted by Phil Plait, better known as the Bad Astronomer, who formerly hosted Bad Universe on the Discovery Channel. He currently blogs for Slate. Here is the first in the series:
The second series, Space Time, is shorter, at six to eight minutes each. Astrophysicist Gabe Perez-Giz tackles serious science topics from a pop-culture angle. Here is a sample: Can You Trust Your Eyes?
