From Caltech and NASA comes IRrelevant Astronomy. IRrelevant Astronomy is a project of the Cool Cosmos Team (the joint Education and Public Outreach group for the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center) located at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.
These educational video clips star notable actors such as Wil Wheaton, Sean Aston, Felicia Day, Linda Hamilton and Betty White.
The most recent “episode” features Robot IR-2 (Ed Wasser) meeting The Physician (Wil Wheaton), an intergalactic buttinsky in a small blue box spaceship. Together, they work to escape “The Destroyer of Worlds,” a binary star system that is destroying its inner planets.
The videos are often quite humors and have many inside jokes and “nerd” humor. Fun for all ages, and I’ve yet to see a bad episode.
