We're exploring humanity's evolving relationship with total solar eclipses this week on planetary radio. I'm Sarah Al-Hamed of the Planetary Society with more of the Human Adventure across our

Solar System and beyond. You and I might be excited for the upcoming total solar eclipse in Mexico, the United States, in Canada, and April.

But our ancestors, they might have had a different take.

Ed Krupp, the director of Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles,

joins us this week to talk about the field of Arquio astronomy

and the various ways that cultures have interpreted solar eclipses over time. But first, you'll get to meet the Planetary

Society's new science editor, Acesstahl. He's putting his PhD in

astrophysics to work sharing space with everyone. We'll close out our show this week with Bruce Betts, the chief

scientist of the Planetary Society for What's Up. If you love Planetary Radio and want to stay informed

We've been very fortunate to add two new people to the Planetary Society staff this last month.

Dr. Aesa Stahl, our new science editor, who you'll meet in a moment, and our new development

associate, Simone Rain.

I've had the chance to meet both of them in person, and as is the case with all of our coworkers, you can feel their enthusiasm in

everything they do. It's always wonderful to have new people and the crew to help us

share and advocate for space together. As a member of our communications team,

you'll be hearing more from Asa and future shows.

He's an astronomer, an award-winning children's book author,

and a science communicator.
