Blue Dot 28: Tyler Nordgren and The Great American Eclipse

space.com
The Great American Eclipse

The skies will darken, the birds will quiet and crickets will start chirping...in the daytime. It all happens next August — it’s the Great American Eclipse, and this week on Blue Dot we have Dr. Tyler Nordgren to tell us all about it.

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.
