REACH: A Podcast for Kids ISS Downlink

REACH: A Podcast for Kids ISS Downlink


REACH: A Space Podcast for Kids is a weekly, family friendly exploration of our galaxy (and beyond!) with hosts Brian Holden and Meredith Stepien. Built for kids and based on questions from kids, REACH features interviews with subject matter experts, interactive at-home activities, and conversations with celestial objects as voiced by well-known personalities from television and film.

REACH is the outreach project of Solar System Ambassador Sandy Marshall and co-creator Nate DuFort. It is primarily designed for young listeners (ages 8-12), though offers educational space & science content for learners of all ages, and so far engages an audience of about 25,000.

Among the guests for upcoming REACH podcasts are Dr. Jim Green, NASA Chief Scientist, and Mars mission planner Dr. Rachel Kronyak of JPL, who was inspired to pursue a career in Geology and work for NASA by Solar System Ambassador, Laura Jean Checki.

A spiral galaxy viewed tilted at a diagonal angle and toward the viewer. The core and the disk of the galaxy are different colors but are otherwise difficult to tell apart. The disc has wispy, ragged edges and many arcs of glowing, star-forming patches. A few distant galaxies are visible in the background around the spiral galaxy, as are several foreground stars.

Researchers Develop ‘Founding Document’ on Synthetic Cell Development

Cells are the fundamental units of life, forming the variety of all living things on Earth as individual cells and multi-cellular organisms. To better understand how cells perform the essential functions of life, scientists have begun developing synthetic cells – non-living bits of cellular biochemistry wrapped in a membrane that mimic specific biological processes. The […]

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
