    What The Universe Is Doing RIGHT NOW

    What The Universe Is Doing RIGHT NOW
    A century ago, astronomers were locked in a debate about the scope of our universe. Were we it?

    The answer is no. There are other galaxies beyond the Milky Way, and they are speeding away from us. Answering that question left astronomers with an even bigger puzzle. Why is everything sprinting away from us and what does that mean for the center of the universe? Today, Scientist in Residence Regina G. Barber brings back astronomer Dr. Vicky Scowcroft for the final episode in our series on cosmic distances and humanity's place in the universe. It's a big one: The mystery of our expanding universe.

    If you haven't heard the other two episodes in the series yet, check them out here:
    - Venus And The 18th Century Space Race
    - The Stars that Settled The Great Debate

    327: Neil deGrasse Tyson | Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

    Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) is the Frederick P. Rose Director of the Hayden Planetarium, host of StarTalk Radio, and author of New York Times bestseller Astrophysics for People in a Hurry.

    What We Discuss with Neil deGrasse Tyson:

    • How a seasoned scientist maintains childlike curiosity.
    • The power of science to transcend bias.
    • Why Neil didn't have typical public speaking jitters when he gave his first lecture at age 15.
    • Do you have to be a math wizard to pursue science?
    • What enlightened leadership (from either side of the aisle) understands about the value of science -- and why science denial has surged so dramatically in recent years.
    • And much more...

    #78 – Ann Druyan: Cosmos, Carl Sagan, Voyager, and the Beauty of Science

    #78 – Ann Druyan: Cosmos, Carl Sagan, Voyager, and the Beauty of Science
    Ann Druyan is the writer, producer, director, and one of the most important and impactful communicators of science in our time. She co-wrote the 1980 science documentary series Cosmos hosted by Carl Sagan, whom she married in 1981, and her love for whom, with the help of NASA, was recorded as brain waves on a golden record along with other things our civilization has to offer and launched into space on the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft that are now, 42 years later, still active, reaching out farther into deep space than any human-made object ever has. This was a profound and beautiful decision she made as a Creative Director of NASA's Voyager Interstellar Message Project. In 2014, she went on to create the second season of Cosmos, called Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, and in 2020, the new third season called Cosmos: Possible Worlds, which is being released this upcoming Monday, March 9. It is hosted, once again, by the fun and brilliant Neil deGrasse Tyson.

    Guided Meditation: Election Stress (Powers of Ten)

    Guided Meditation: Election Stress (Powers of Ten)
    This election has been brutal on the American psyche (on both sides of the aisle). In this meditation from Dan's "10% Happier" app, Jeff Warren leads us in a guided practice to gain perspective and find a bit of balance. Jeff delivers with the candor and hilarity that only a Canadian could bring to this uniquely American stressor.
