Space on Earth
Brought to you by STEMarts Lab, the Space on Earth-Taos Chapter is a student led podcast that inspires listeners who are curious about space to explore the wonders of the universe to the voices of young thinkers, creators, and dreamers. Each episode lends personal curiosity with scientific discovery from the mysterious steps of black holes, the practical impacts of space on earth like GPS, climate, science and medicine. Hosted by STEMarts students from Taos, New Mexico this podcast draws connections between space, art and science, how these things all impact us here on earth and their meaning to humanity. You’ll hear raw, insightful conversations about topics like light pollution, the overview effect, lunar exploration and the societal impact of the space race, whether you’re into exoplanets, dark energy or just stargazing from your backyard, Space on Earth makes space personal, accessible and inspiring. We believe that space isn’t just for astronauts and scientists, it’s for everyone. Join us on this adventure as we explore the cosmos from Earth, one story at a time.
