Science Chat: Planet Nine and More with Dr. Stephanie Deppe
About this episode
As we gaze up at the night sky, the stars tell ancient stories, and no one knows this better than Dr. Stephanie Deppe, a planetary scientist with an affinity for the Kuiper Belt.
During our cosmic conversation, she transports us from nostalgic tales of her first telescope to the outer reaches of our solar system, revealing her academic odyssey and the pivotal role of educators in shaping the path of young scientists.
Get ready to traverse the history and evolution of the planets and learn about the gravitational intricacies that suggest there might be a ninth planet hiding beyond Neptune.
This episode isn't just about unraveling the mysteries of space; it's about the connections we forge through shared passions. We'll embark on a journey discussing the construction of a new observatory in Chile, the surprising truths behind Neptune's deep blue image, and how space exploration brings joy to our lives.
Our guest, Dr. Deppe, leaves us with an inspiring reminder of the wonder that the cosmos holds and the exciting potential discoveries that lie ahead with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
