Episode 55 Telescopes And Stars

About the Episode

Edwin Hubble changed our view of the Solar System, but he was also a collegiate National Champion basketball player and high school coach. He also dealt with the struggles of freezing his face to a telescope. Anything for Science!

George Ellery Hale had the idea for the largest telescope in history, and the American Public made it a reality during the Great Depression. It was actually made from something you might use in the kitchen.

this was AMAZING!!! I am obsessed with your podcast and I listen to it when ever I am super bored while I do something like cleaning my room or knitting a blanket for my dolls. The best part is, that I REALLY want to be an astronomer when I grow up. This podcast was really cool and I enjoyed learning about giant lenses and exploding whales!
