Description

In this episode, Bob and Shelly take a look at the sky just days before the next solar eclipse. Join us as Dr. Misty enthusiastically shares her wealth of knowledge about the sun, moon, and stars - and why we seem to be having more solar events! Finally, join us as we speak about the upcoming Balloon Fiesta and the excitement surrounding this event. Let's blast off with this next out of this world STEM Southwest podcast! Show Notes Watch episode here Dr. Misty Carty has over two decades of experience as an informal science educator, inspiring young students to develop a love for science. Her journey in science began with a spark of curiosity when she learned that Pluto had moved inside the orbit of Neptune and was not currently the last planet in the solar system - at a time when scientists still defined it as a planet. This ignited her passion for learning and sharing knowledge. Misty holds a Bachelor's in Physics from McDaniel College, located just outside Baltimore, MD. She further pursued her academic goals by earning her Master's and Doctorate in Astronomy from the University of Maryland, College Park.
