What are HIV & AIDS? HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, is a type of virus that infects human immune cells. Over time, immune cells are lost, which weakens the immune system and allows patients to be infected by other viruses. This video explains the pathophysiology behind viral infection, as well as important signs and symptoms of HIV and clinical markers of AIDS. It also gives an overview of diagnosis and treatment. Today is World AIDS Day.

A LiDAR video of the Thetford Castle, a medieval motte and bailey castle in the market town of Thetford in the Breckland area of Norfolk, England. The first castle in Thetford, a probable 11th-century Norman ringwork called Red Castle, was replaced in the 12th century by a much larger motte and bailey castle on the other side of the town. Thetford Castle incorporated parts of an Iron Age hillfort.

A video of the collapse of the 305-meter Arecibo Telescope on 3 December 2020.
The telescope was used for the earliest intentional interstellar radio message by humanity and Earth in 1974 to a star system about 25,000 light years from Earth, the Arecibo message. It was completed in 1963 and remained the world's largest single-aperture telescope until 2016. Its decommissioning was announced one month before its unintentional collapse.
