While cathedrals give people a place to contemplate Heaven from our place here on Earth, astronauts on the ISS can view Earth from “the heavens” above. This show highlights the many ways the ISS is like a modern-day cathedral.
On this week’s show, we reflect on how telescopes have changed our perception of our place in the universe. Our guests include Dava Sobel, author of The Planets, Vatican Astronomer Father Chris Corbally, and astronaut Paul Richards.
