Have you heard the big news? NASA has reported that Mark Whatney is alive and well on the surface of Mars. No, wait, they’ve reported that there’s water on Mars. Didn’t they already report this? Today we’ll update you on the latest discovery and what this means for the search for life on Mars.

One of the most common questions about the Universe is “Does alien life exist?” Well the answer is: we don’t know. However, in the last 25 years almost 2,000 planets have been discovered orbiting distant stars. This has brought us much closer to an answer, but not all the way.

Nancy Alima Ali hosts.

Today we have as our guest Bryan Mendez of the Space Sciences Lab here at U.C. Berkley.

Hailing from Traverse City, Michigan, the beautifully dark night skies there enthralled him from a very early age and inspired him to study astronomy. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1997 with degrees in Astronomy, Physics, and Saxophone Performance. Bryan continued his education at the University of California at Berkeley, where he researched the large scale flow of galaxies in the nearby Universe by measuring their distances. He received a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from UC Berkeley in 2002. Bryan works at UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory educating and inspiring others about the wonder and beauty of the Universe. His work in space science education and public outreach involves developing programs for the public and resources for K-12 classrooms, and conducting professional development for science educators. Bryan is bicultural, of Mexican and European backgrounds, and strives to foster diverse perspectives in his work.

The atmosphere keeps us alive and breathing, but it really sucks for astronomy. Fortunately, humanity has built and launched space telescopes that get above the pesky atmosphere, where the skies are really clear. Let’s take a look at the past, current and future of orbital observation.

Do you know the story of the phoenix? The phoenix is a mythical golden bird that, according to various myths, lives for 5 hundred to 14 hundred years. When it grows old and frail, it bursts into flames and is reborn from its own ashes to begin the cycle again.
