Podcasts about Astronomers Without Borders

Hosted by Mike Simmons. Astronomy for Equity will use the proven ability of astronomy to promote, support, and create STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education programs. Programs have been designed to encourage students and others in marginalized and isolated communities that lack representation and opportunities in STEM fields. Students interested in science are often discouraged by the lack of opportunities, role models, and support from teachers.   Mike Simmons is the founder of Astronomy for Equity ( https://bmsis.org/astro4equity/ ). Others on the team, including people around the world in astronomy and space exploration, authors and philosophers, designers and artists and more will be added as the website is developed.   Mike founded Astronomers Without Borders in 2006 to unite astronomy and space enthusiasts around the world through their common interests. During the UN-declared International Year of Astronomy 2009, Mike led the effort to organize the Cornerstone Project 100 Hours of Astronomy in more than 100 countries, with an estimated one million people looking through outreach telescopes in one night.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

La Astronomía para Personas con Discapacidades. En este programa grabado de “Obsesión por el Cielo” platicamos sobre los retos que enfrentan personas con ciertas discapacidades físicas (como motoras, de visión, audición, etc.) o cognitivas (autismo, dislexia, etc.) para aprender y disfrutar de la astronomía; que es una actividad netamente caracterizada por sus aspectos visuales. Comenzamos el programa haciendo énfasis en la necesidad de incluir en la afición a todas las personas, sin importar sus discapacidades, que estén interesadas en la astronomía. También vemos algunos ejemplos de científicos famosos (siendo Stephen Hawking el mas característico de estos) que han contribuido a la astronomía a pesar de sus discapacidades. En el programa también damos algunos ejemplos de organizaciones y personas que hacen esfuerzos para desarrollar materiales didácticos adecuados para ciertas discapacidades, y organizar congresos para hacer difusión de las técnicas que son necesarias para comunicar la astronomía a personas con discapacidades. Entre ellas están varias oficinas de la Unión Astronómica Internacional, Astronomers Without Borders la Dra. Wanda Diaz Merced, etc. Terminamos el programa dando ejemplos de estos materiales, como lo son libros escritos en braille, modelos de tres dimensiones, podcasts, videos, etc. Esta semana, además de las Noticias Astronómicas, les ofrecemos los Premiso Constelación y Movimiento Retrógrado a las noticias astronómicas más y menos relevantes, respectivamente, para el mes de noviembre del 2019. Esperamos que disfruten el programa.

In this insightful episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast host Christopher Jordan sits down for a discussion on learning to love the night sky with Astronomers Without Borders founder, Mike Simmons.We all share the same sky, and Astronomers Without Borders brings the world together to share our passion of astronomy and the wonders of the Universe.Observing projects bring people together to share their activities with each other.And in the process of looking outward together, we learn about each other and create lasting bonds, regardless of country or culture.It is this bond between people that Astronomers Without Borders hopes to foster. A brief message or the gift of a small telescope can grow into lasting bonds, goodwill and friendships that reach around the world. Understanding replaces ignorance and suspicion. Media images are superceded by the faces of real people. Relationships, support and personal connections supplant stereotypes.For millennia man has look at the night sky with wonder and awe. Since the days of Galileo we have been gazing beyond our own atmosphere and peer into the non-void of space. How have hundreds of years of Astronomy affecting not only the scientific arc of mankind, but our appreciation of the planet we live on? How has this scientific endeavor moved from backyard of a few dedicated individuals, to lab and multi-million dollar facilities, only to return to the backyard of now the average person?With the advent of the modern privatized space race and the arrival of technology that now make astronomy affordable to the average person, how has the field of astronomy changed over recent years? How have backyard astronomers made more of a difference than ever before in the tracking and even discovery of celestial bodies? With so few chances to see stars in a major city, how can we build excitement for stargazing in the minds of children and how can we make astronomy an ongoing concern for future generations?Join the Dudes and Beer podcast as we explore the life changing topic of backyard astronomy and developments in the world of backyard astronomy with founder and CEO of Astronomers Without Borders, Mike Simmons.The Dudes n Beer podcast is a proud member of the HC Universal Network family of podcasts.

In this insightful episode of the Dudes n Beer podcast host Christopher Jordan sits down for a discussion on learning to love the night sky with Astronomers Without Borders founder, Mike Simmons. We all share the same sky, and Astronomers Without Borders brings the world together to share our passion of astronomy and the wonders of the Universe. Observing projects bring people together to share their activities with each other. And in the process of looking outward together, we learn about each other and create lasting bonds, regardless of country or culture. It is this bond between people that Astronomers Without Borders hopes to foster. A brief message or the gift of a small telescope can grow into lasting bonds, goodwill and friendships that reach around the world. Understanding replaces ignorance and suspicion. Media images are superceded by the faces of real people. Relationships, support and personal connections supplant stereotypes. For millennia man has look at the night sky with wonder and awe. Since the days of Galileo we have been gazing beyond our own atmosphere and peer into the non-void of space. How have hundreds of years of Astronomy affecting not only the scientific arc of mankind, but our appreciation of the planet we live on? How has this scientific endeavor moved from backyard of a few dedicated individuals, to lab and multi-million dollar facilities, only to return to the backyard of now the average person? With the advent of the modern privatized space race and the arrival of technology that now make astronomy affordable to the average person, how has the field of astronomy changed over recent years? How have backyard astronomers made more of a difference than ever before in the tracking and even discovery of celestial bodies? With so few chances to see stars in a major city, how can we build excitement for stargazing in the minds of children and how can we make astronomy an ongoing concern for future generations?
