On August 12th, 2026, the Moon’s shadow will sweep across Iceland, Greenland, and Spain, bringing the first total solar eclipse visible from Europe since 1999. And because this eclipse happens near sunset, it promises to be one of the most visually stunning in living memory. Astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy, founder of Cosmic Background Photography, joins the show to talk about his extraordinary 2024 eclipse image, his collaboration with the Artemis II crew to capture the Moon in unprecedented detail, and what he's planning for this unique low-horizon eclipse. Then, bioacoustics researcher David Mann, founder of Haikubox and Loggerhead Instruments, shares the results of the Eclipse Echoes study, which used a network of hundreds of AI-powered bird monitors to reveal how birds across North America responded to the 2024 eclipse. The answer is far more complicated than simply going quiet. Discover more at: https://www.planetary.org/planetary-radio/2026-total-solar-eclipseSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Warum fällt es uns so schwer, die Natur zu schützen, obwohl wir längst wissen, was auf dem Spiel steht? Warum bewegt uns die Klima- und Biodiversitätskrise manchmal tief und manchmal scheinbar gar nicht? Und wie wird aus Wissen endlich Handeln? In dieser Folge spricht Host Lukas Klaschinski mit der Sozial- und Umweltpsychologin Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Kals und dem Generaldirektor des Museums für Naturkunde Berlin, Prof. Dr. Johannes Vogel. Gemeinsam gehen sie der Frage nach, warum unsere Verbindung zur Natur brüchig geworden ist und was sie wieder stärken kann. Sie sprechen über Klimaangst, Verdrängung, Hoffnung und Ohnmacht, über die Kraft von Naturerfahrungen und darüber, warum Emotionen oft mehr bewegen als reine Fakten. Außerdem geht es um die Rolle von Museen, Wissenschaft und Citizen Science und darum, weshalb schon frühe Naturerlebnisse unser Umweltbewusstsein ein Leben lang prägen können. Dieser Podcast entsteht in freundlicher Produktionsunterstützung der Auf die Ohren GmbH und wurde 2021 als Bester Podcast mit dem Deutschen Hörbuchpreis ausgezeichnet.

This week on That Tech Pod, we look up. We're joined by Dr. Franck Marchis, CEO and co-founder of SkyMapper, co-founder of Unistellar, Director of Citizen Science at the SETI Institute, and one of the world's leading planetary astronomers. From discovering triple-asteroid systems to helping build the next generation of citizen science, Franck has spent his career making space exploration more accessible to everyone.In this episode, we dive into the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, what astronomers actually do at SETI, and whether AI is changing the way we explore the universe. Franck shares his thoughts on whether intelligent alien life is likely to exist, what would happen if humanity received a credible signal from another civilization, and whether we're more likely to find microbes in our own solar system before discovering an advanced civilization light-years away. We also discuss how astronomy is no longer reserved for professional observatories. Thanks to advances in smart telescopes, AI, and global collaboration, everyday enthusiasts can now make meaningful contributions to scientific discovery. Franck explains how SkyMapper is building a worldwide network of connected telescopes and all-sky cameras designed to continuously monitor the skies and create trusted, verifiable observations for researchers and citizen scientists alike.Finally, we explore SkySphere, SkyMapper's new intelligent all-sky camera that captures a continuous 180-degree view of the sky using on-device AI to detect meteors, satellites, drones, aircraft, and other phenomena in real time. We talk about how the project could reshape both amateur astronomy and scientific research, and how listeners can get involved through its successful Kickstarter campaign.Learn more about SkyMapper and check out the SkySphere Kickstarter. You can also learn more about Franck's work with the SETI Institute.Dr. Franck Marchis is the CEO and co-founder of SkyMapper, co-founder of Unistellar, and the Director of Citizen Science at the SETI Institute. A planetary astronomer by training, his research spans exoplanets, asteroid systems, and high-resolution imaging. He is widely known for co-discovering multiple triple-asteroid systems and for pioneering technologies and programs that bring astronomical discovery to the public. Through his efforts at SkyMapper and his work at SETI, Franck is helping build a global community of citizen scientists empowered to explore and understand the universe.

What waits beyond the tree line—and how much evidence would it take to make you believe? BZ and Bumpstock Ken join Rick Robinson for a lively, open-minded exploration of Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and the creatures humans have reported across generations and cultures.The panel examines the Patterson-Gimlin film, Dr. Jeff Meldrum's work on footprints and primate locomotion, citizen-led research, Indigenous traditions, famous hoaxes, unexplained howls, and personal encounters—including BZ's possible sighting of a juvenile Sasquatch near California's Clear Lake. With plenty of humor but no shortage of serious questions, the discussion separates credible investigation from attention-seeking fakery and asks whether our fear of Bigfoot is really a fear of admitting how much remains unknown.

Featuring Alex Rose, Science Editor, Ocean Geographic Magazine & Co-Founder, Sea Americas Alex Rose has been part of the Ocean Science Radio family for nearly a decade — you may remember her reporting live from MACNA, the Marine Aquarium Conference of North America, back in 2016. Today she's back, this time in the guest chair, with something considerably bigger on the horizon. Alex is the Science Editor of Ocean Geographic Magazine, founder of ocean conservation company Blue Ring, an Explorers Club Fellow, a professional violinist, and now co-host and producer of Sea Americas — a cinematic expedition documentary series following the world's largest all-female dive team as they document the most threatened marine sanctuaries across the Americas. In this conversation, Andrew and Dr. Frances Farabaugh sit down with Alex to talk about what it means to dive with purpose in a moment of accelerating loss — from the functionally extinct reef-building corals of the Florida Keys, to the surprisingly intact reefs of Cuba, to the political headwinds threatening the protected waters these stories depend on. They also dig into the Sea Americas Seed & Spark crowdfunding campaign, the conservation model behind Blue Ring, and what it actually feels like to cry underwater while trying to document a dying reef. Hope, Alex reminds us, needs to be a verb. Let's actively hope.

The astronauts of the Artemis II mission are prospecting for a planned base on the moon, the first lunar expedition since 1972. The crew includes the first woman, the first person of color, and first Canadian to travel to the Moon. Danny Olivas, an engineer and retired NASA astronaut, talks about the mission objectives and challenges, why it faced delays and what sets the Artemis program apart from the Apollo visits to the moon of more than 50 years ago.   Also, a panel known as the “God Squad”, consisting mostly of Trump cabinet members, recently voted to exempt the oil and gas industry operating in the Gulf of Mexico from the Endangered Species Act. If courts do not intervene, this decision would waive the standard ESA requirements to protect endangered species including the Rice's whale, of which there are only a few dozen left.   And the City Nature Challenge is an international contest known as a bioblitz: a brief, intensive survey of biological diversity over a set area and time. A few years back we met up with the Boston BioBlitz Initiative for Girls during a trip to Thompson Island in Boston Harbor, where a group of teens practiced their observational skills for the competition. And you can participate in this year's bioblitz.   ---   Interested in in gaining hands-on experience with producing a radio show and podcast? Apply to be a Living on Earth intern this summer!
