I'm honored to have been asked by the American National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. to collaborate with the education department in a video about the basics of skygazing. The episode will air on STEM IN 30, an interactive program consisting of 30-minute live webcasts that engage middle school students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
The STEM IN 30 episode How Do We Know What's Out There? will air live on May 16 on the museum's website and on NASA TV.
