Exploring The Universe With Invisible Light (w/ Nicole Gugliucci)

Time: 48:08

Play

Radio waves aren’t sound. They’re electromagnetic radiation and essentially a type of invisible light. Radio astronomer Nicole Gugliucci joins us to explain how it's used to observe the formation of galaxies, black holes and other objects in outer space. Then, Gillian and Diona go on a field trip to see a meteor shower! It’s pretty much a disaster, but kind of hilarious and most definitely a blast. Stick around until the very end for an important announcement.

Referencing in my exams

I’m a uni student, needed to do research, managed to find info here that I needed 👍 I’m not a podcast person but listened to a few more than the one I needed and it was cool hearing stuff I didn’t know. Would recommend

Well now… here’s my thoughts…

Misinformed, biased, opinionated, drivel are all words to ABSOLUTELY NOT associate with this genuinely insightful and thoughtful Podcast series!

Hope I didn’t scare you all with the cheeky opener to my review? I’m a big fan for sure.

Can honestly say it’s always thought provoking content and you can’t fail to learn something new with every show.

Love to all the team! Keep the shows coming please :)

A Podcast Worth Cell-ebrating (Sorry!)

I absolutely love this podcast! Every single episode/subject is so interesting, engaging and fun. (And I genuinely feel a little bit smarter after listening! so thank you for that!)

Alongside listening to podcasts, I personally watch a lot of documentaries about subjects that I'm interested in - or if they just seem intriguing. I wondered if either of you had watched or read anything recently that still stands out to you? Or maybe something you'd always recommend!

(On a side note, as a brit, Gillian, it is my duty to ask if you have a favourite or most memorable Great British Bakeoff episode!?)

Thank you both for this amazing podcast!

Fun and Factual

Never have I laughed as much whilst learning new and extraordinary subjects. It truly feels like we are learning things together with no one ever being spoken down to, bloody love it.

Just incredible.

This podcast is genuinely one of my favourite podcasts! It feels so personal, as if i was sitting with a group of friends. Any question that i want to ask, Diona or Gillian ask it for me! It’s so fun and upbeat and I look forward to it every Tuesday. It gives a new meaning to STEM and as a teenager it’s really fun to listen to and is so so interesting!! Long story short, I love it!!!! :))
