2021 Holiday Special
It's that time of year again, time to look back at the work we've done over the years and also to look forward into the future.
This year however, our holiday special is unfortunately our last. Starting next year A View From Earth will be changing shape into a new podcast called SciHArt. Funded by the PUNCH mission, SciHArt, which stands for Scientists as Hobbyists and Artists, will feature leaders in science, engineering, and science communication who are in different phases of their career journey, from undergraduate researchers to senior professionals playing leadership roles on NASA missions.
The initial podcasts will focus on members of the science, engineering, and outreach teams of the NASA PUNCH mission and other professionals in the lesser-known field of Heliophysics.
We are looking forward to the new year and the changes that we'll be going through and hope that you will join us for the ride. -
Episode 28 - A One-Two PUNCH of Science and Outreach
NASA’s PUNCH mission is a suite of small satellites that aim to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, and how the corona accelerates to become the solar wind that fills the solar system. That’s the official description anyway; beyond just the science, PUNCH also has a plan to activate the theme of Ancient & Modern Sun watching to extend heliophysics outreach to underserved and under-represented populations as well as to the broader public in the American Southwest and beyond. This week we talk with PUNCH’s PI, Dr. Craig DeForest, about how combining high-tech science investigation, amateur observation, and indigenous and historical knowledge gives us a more complete and robust vision of our space weather environment.
