”Interstellar” Directed by Christopher Nolan Apr 08, 2022

Show notes

It was not until 2014 that audiences were first shown a realistic visualization of a black hole in a major motion picture. Those visuals came courtesy of the efforts of Christopher Nolan, who sought to bring viewers the most authentically realized sci-fi film he could. Lacey Hannan goes deep into the black holes of "Interstellar".

Earth‘s Moon Oct 08, 2021

Today’s journey is a refreshingly short one: a mere 238,855 miles from Earth. In terms of cosmic distance, that’s right on our doorstep, or closer even – right off the tip of our nose. Alexander Winn steers us toward a destination easily spotted with the naked eye.

Alexander Winn stares directly into the sun, purely for science.
