Travel the universe with Dr. Ethan Siegel as he answers the biggest questions of all

We’re looking back farther in time than ever before. Here’s what we’re finding.


Even today, the Universe is forming enormous numbers of new stars: from various nebulae throughout our galaxy to mighty starburst galaxies where the entire galaxy is an enormous star-forming region. A decade ago, we were still trying to figure out how, when, and where stars formed throughout the Universe; today, we have that nailed down, but a whole suite of new questions and puzzles have arisen as a result of what we learned.

On this edition of the Starts With A Bang podcast, I’m pleased to welcome Indiana University astronomer Jennifer Sieben to the show, who specializes in the Universe’s star-formation history and also works in astronomy outreach.
She has a YouTube channel with astronomy vlogs: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLN…hUQ7BFj_S189sOPz1
Serves as her University’s outreach coordinator for astronomy: blogs.iu.edu/sciu/
And can be found here on Twitter: twitter.com/TARDISeeker

Come enjoy the spectacular story of the Universe’s newborn stars today!
