About Us

Pale Blue Pod is an astronomy podcast for people who are overwhelmed by the universe but want to be its friend. Astrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier and comedian Corinne Caputo demystify space one topic at a time with open eyes, open arms, and open mouths (from so much laughing and jaw-dropping). By the end of each episode, the cosmos will feel a little less “ahhh too scary” and a lot more “ohhh, so cool!” New episodes every Monday.

Pale Blue Pod is a member of the Multitude Collective.

Light on a Feather Down Couch Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

Moiya and Corinne take a fun romp through the electromagnetic spectrum. It turns out space is lit up by a big rainbow of colors we can't see or imagine, and this episode dives into the history and advantages of observing space through each of the different "colors."

*CORRECTION*: 1 nanometer is one billionth of a meter, not one millionth.
