Nancy Alima Ali hosts.

For a few minutes each winter solstice, a shaft of sunlight shines through the entrance to the Neolithic tomb of Newgrange in Ireland to illuminate the chamber within. Nancy Alima Ali from UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Lab talks with Dr. Claire Raftery, a solar physicist, space physicist and science educator at SSL and the Communications Lead for the upcoming NASA ICON mission, who grew up nearby Newgrange, to explore the meaning of this solar alignment in Irish history, folklore and culture.

They’ve got a launch secured, and now they’re getting ready for the Moon! Meet team SpaceIL ( @TeamSpaceIL & http://www.spaceil.com/ ), and hear about their dreams---and how they became the first Google Lunar XPRIZE team to secure a verified launch contract.

In the last few episodes, we’ve been talking about the standard model of physics, explaining what everything is made up of. But the reality is that we probably don’t know a fraction of how everything is put together. This week we’re going to talk about baryons, the particles made up of quarks. The most famous ones are the proton and the neutron, but that’s just the tip of the baryonic iceberg. And then we’re going to talk about where the standard model ends, and what’s next in particle physics.

Description: Modern astronomy produces stunning images of the universe. However, the process to produce these images is not simple. Astronomers have to calibrate the images and choose how to represent their data. In this podcast, Dr. Travis Rector discusses how he produces astronomical images and his new book “Coloring the Universe.
