Prior to the April 2024 total solar eclipse, we interviewed heliophysicist Lika Guhathakurta (Lika Guhathakurta) from NASA about studying the sun, space weather, and the Living with a Star initiative.

Migratory birds perform feats of endurance that would make an Olympic athlete gasp. We inquire about these daunting migrations and how birds can fly for days without rest. Plus, how we might save disappearing species. This Big Picture Science is “For the Birds.” buff.ly/3W0lY9H
