Sciences on Moon

[QuantumJo]

On January 26, join us for a rare conversation between two people on the
edges of human exploration, as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
and NASA hold the first call from the deep ocean to the edge of space.

Students, educators, and science lovers can learn more and participate
by visiting

He is two miles under water; she is 200 miles up in the atmosphere. He
works in a small, confined space, looking out onto a vast, unpopulated
expanse--and so does she. He is out of the reach of sunlight, buried in
a blanket of constant darkness, she sees the Sun rise 15 times a
day...if she has any time to look for it. Both are explorers of the last
frontiers.

Marine biologist Tim Shank, diving in the Alvin submersible, will
compare notes on life, science, and exploration with astronaut Sunita
“Suni” Williams as she orbits on the International Space Station.

You can be a part of that conversation: Students, educators, and science
lovers can submit questions for Tim and Suni to answer on the air. Visit
the “Ask a question” page at

Wow! Visible in 2029 as it passes. That would be something to observe but I doubt I'll still be kicking when it happens.
