.gifs from around our universe showcasing cool, interesting, educating or entertaining science.

 

In this subreddit we share .gifs that show cool, interesting, educating or entertaining science.

Submission rules:
  1. Hosts: Please post direct links to .gif, .gifv, .webm . ogg & .mp4 formats on a reliable host (preferably Imgur or Gfycat). If you want to post an album, the individual .gifs must be related to each other in some way.

  2. Titles: Try to keep the title as descriptive as possible. Include helpful information, if known (e.g. name of the shown effect, reactants, location). If your submission is original content, you may put [OC] in the title.

  3. Top-level comment: We encourage you to leave a top-level comment containing a more detailed explanation about what's going on in the .gif. Please also give credit to the creators/authors/artists and include the source if your submission is not OC.

  4. Flairs: Flair your submission. Use the flair that appears most appropriate. You can use the Science-flair, if no other flair fits.

  5. Reposts: Please try not to repost. Reposts of .gifs that have already been submitted within the last 90 days will be removed.

Comment rules:
  1. We invite you to share scientific explanations and further knowledge about the posts in the comments. Please keep the discussions on topic and about science.

  2. Please be nice and respectful to each other; follow the reddiquette.

  The mods will remove submissions and comments that violate the rules above. Multiple violations may result in being banned from the subreddit.
