Venus Meets The Pleiades
Published 28th March 2020
Once every 8 years, brilliant Venus appears to pass right through the renowned Pleiades star cluster. This celestial meetup is called a conjunction, and it's the result of the geometries of our solar system. In this video, we'll go to the Giovale Open Deck Observatory at Lowell Observatory (https://lowell.edu/godo) to learn how to see this spectacular conjunction.
You can also join Lowell Observatory on Friday, April 3, 2020, for a live stream of this Venus-Pleiades Conjunction: https://youtu.be/zW23N4-K1LU.

Nate Stewart | The Difficulties Of Getting To Mars!
Published 29th March 2020
Episode 73 features Nate Stewart. Nate is an Operations Planning Flight Controller at NASA's Johnson Space Center. The content of the episode does not represent the opinions of NASA or the United States government. It is solely the beliefs and opinions of Nate Stewart.
For decades, it has been a goal of the US government to put American astronauts on Martian soil. Why have we been unable to reach any of our predicted timelines? What technology do we lack? Where have we failed? Before a successful mission to Mars is executed, we must understand what technological innovations are necessary. Nate breaks down where we need to improve before we can feasibly move forward.
