Michelle Thaller on Science

April 29th, 2009

I met and had the opportunity to spend a lot of time talking about the universe with the fabulous Michelle Thaller at CWA. Michelle is a astronomer, and as far as I know is still the head of education and outreach at the Spitzer Space Telescope (she was considering a new job with NASA last I heard). She initially derived her inspiration for space and communicating its wonders from Carl Sagan and George Lucas’ Star Wars.

Here is a brief interview about what keeps her inspired:

    Hello!

    I can t understand. The universe will be frozen. It is expanding as a balloom, and later will be a space full of blocks or cubes of ice. At finishh our universe will be only black holes that explodes and, Will be that the end? I believe that may be a recycling process and the things come to be as before.

    What is your opinion?

    Hi, I’m a 77 year old who’s interested in our solar system and the universe.
    I love the programs on the History Channel I have I problem, the TV does not answer me nor does my cat & my wife couldn’t care less.

    Where can I go to converse with some one who will answer my “stupid” questions ? Like how do you prove there ever was a BIG BANG, What caused it & if nothing was there what exploded?
    I can go on & on but that’s not going to help me now.

    Thanks
