Eclipse 2017 Spectacular: Astronomer Robert Kirshner Explains All To The Satellite Sisters. Satellite Sisters Liz Dolan, Lian Dolan and Julie Dolan are joined by noted astronomer Dr. Robert Kirshner in a special podcast episode devoted entirely to #Eclipse2017 which will sweep across the United States on August 21. The Satellite Sisters know Kirshner as Cousin Bob, the family astronomer. He is also the Clowes Professor of Science at Harvard University and the Chief Program Officer for Science at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation in Palo Alto, CA. On this Satellite Sisters Eclipse 2017 special podcast episode, Dr. Kirshner recommends some key resources for everyone interested in enjoying the historic celestial event. The Moore Foundation has distributed eclipse glasses to thousands of public libraries throughout the country. For complete information on a site near you and an information guide, go to starnetlibraries.org. For additional authoritative information on Eclipse 2017, go to Great American Eclipse. In this entertaining and informative interview from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Kirshner explains what makes the human experience of "the totality" so unique. Liz Dolan will be among the millions of Americans who have positioned themselves in that narrow band for the 100% eclipse. And for those who live in parts of the country where they will view a partial eclipse, including Lian Dolan in Pasadena CA and Julie Dolan in Dallas TX, he has advice for maximum enjoyment + safety. Kirshner also describes what scientists will be able to observe and learn during the historic eclipse. On August 21, he will be at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Sun Valley, Idaho, which is in the path of totally, of course. Robert Kirshner's book The Extravagant Universe: Exploding Stars, Dark Energy and The Accelerating Cosmos is available at amazon. The Satellite Sisters will host a second Eclipse 2017 on Tuesday August 22 to discuss their experiences. If you wish to post messages about your experiences to be shared on that podcast special, please join the Satellite Sisters Facebook Group. Follow the Satellite Sisters on Twitter and Instagram @SatSisters.

Lian Dolan hears cousin Robert Kirshner explain Dark Matter, Dark Energy

Astronomer Robert Kirshner is an expert in supernovae – those spectacular exploding stars that can outshine a galaxy. It's a specialty he chanced on in grad school, and his timing was perfect. The field was really taking off, and it was supernovae that would lead to the biggest cosmological surprise of the last 20 years: the revelation that mysterious "dark energy" os pushing the universe apart at faster and faster rates. Bob and I talked about his career, the discovery of dark energy and what it might mean for the future of the cosmos.
