In this episode of Space on Earth, hosts Shaylee, Taylor, Wyatt, and Tulsi explore the wonder of constellations, from ancient myths and cultural meanings to their lasting importance in science and navigation. They highlight Ursa Major and Cygnus, sharing stories from Greek, Native American, and Indian traditions, as well as scientific insights like the Pinwheel Galaxy and Cygnus X-1, one of the first black holes discovered. The team also celebrates the clear, dark skies of Taos, New Mexico, and their deep connection to Indigenous stargazing traditions. Listeners are encouraged to look for Ursa Major or Cygnus in the sky this week and to join the upcoming STEMarts AstroTour on July 12th at 8:30 PM in Taos.
