About Us

Pale Blue Pod is an astronomy podcast for people who are overwhelmed by the universe but want to be its friend. Astrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier and her best friend ConStar demystify space one topic at a time with open eyes, open arms, and open mouths (from so much laughing and jaw-dropping). By the end of each episode, the cosmos will feel a little less “ahhh too scary” and a lot more “ohhh, so cool!” New episodes every Monday.

Pale Blue Pod is a member of the Multitude Collective.

Don't feel bad if you take a long time to get ready for a night out... stars spend millions of years getting ready for hydrogen fusion! This week, Moiya explains to Connie what's keeping the baby stars busy all that time.

Moiya tells Connie about the most "Earth-like" planets discovered so far. Spoiler alert: if Earth has a doppelgänger out there, we haven't found it!

Moiya breaks down the different sub-fields of astronomy for Connie, from planet studies all the way up to cosmology, revealing the research interests and reputations (as she sees them!) for each field.

Moiya watched the first episode of Ancient Aliens so you don't have to, and now she's telling Connie all about it. Come for the fact checking, stay to hear Moiya's brain slowly turn to mush by the end of the episode.

Moiya and Connie talk about plants grown in space, the accuracy of Matt Damon's poop potatoes in The Martian, and how astronomers look for plants on other planets... all while playing a special sort of drinking game.
