Gaia Maps the Galaxy

Moiya tells ConStar about the telescope that made the most precise map of the Milky Way galaxy ever... and how it made her cry. ConStar gets a little overwhelmed by the size of the universe and Moiya nerds out over a "fun math derivation" she did in grad school.

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 her best friend ConStar 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.
