PROFILE: Joan Feynman

Posted on October 8, 2023 by Pam Hoffman

The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on October 13th at 9pm Pacific time!

“Joan Feynman was an American astrophysicist. She made contributions to the study of solar wind particles and fields, sun-Earth relations, and magnetospheric physics. In particular, Feynman was known for developing an understanding of the origin of auroras. She was also known for creating a model that predicts the number of high-energy particles likely to hit a spacecraft over its lifetime, and for uncovering a method for predicting sunspot cycles.”

PROFILE: Richard P. Feynman

Posted on October 1, 2023 by Pam Hoffman

The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on October 6th at 9pm Pacific time!

“During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world. In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World, he was ranked the seventh-greatest physicist of all time.

“He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II and became known to a wide public in the 1980s as a member of the Rogers Commission, the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Along with his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing and introducing the concept of nanotechnology.”

Help scientists discover new nearby cool neighbors, known as brown dwarfs.

“Through this project, we hope to identify brown dwarfs in the Sun’s local cosmic neighborhood”

“Through the use of telescope data and the human brain’s ability to distinguish patterns with relative ease, we can identify real brown dwarfs hidden among other stars, galaxies, and detector noise.” ~Zooniverse
