Blue Dot Host Dave Schlom Experiences The Total Solar Eclipse From Oregon

Not one to pass up a once-in-a-lifetime event, especially one involving science, Dave Schlom, host of NSPR’s astronomy and science program Blue Dot, was in Kimberly, Oregon, on Monday to witness the total solar eclipse. Dave graciously agreed to provide some narration of the spectacle, which is interspersed with live safety warnings. 

Dave Schlom is the longtime host and creator of Blue Dot. From surfing to Voyager in interstellar space, rock guitar to orcas in our imperiled oceans, the topics on Blue Dot are as varied as the host’s interests and connections -- which are pretty limitless! An internationally respected space history journalist, Dave is also deeply fascinated by all aspects of the grand workings of nature’s awesome machinery on scales ranging from galactic to subatomic. And topics take in all aspects of the arts and sciences.
