Moiya and Corinne talk about eclipses while apple cider bubbles on a stove in the background. They discuss how eclipses work, the differences between partial and total eclipses, and what humans have been able to learn from these fortunate syzygies throughout history.

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.
