NHPR is proud to announce the launch of Cosmically Curious, a new space-focused segment hosted by Patrick McNameeKing. It's all about celebrating the night sky with a healthy dose of joy, curiosity and zero pretension.
Each week we’ll cover topics ranging from the latest NASA missions, to events happening in the night sky, to space in pop culture. It’s science for everyone—whether you’re an amateur astronomer or someone who’s never held a telescope.
Catch Cosmically Curious on Weekend Edition Sunday at 8:35 a.m. and again on Mondays during Morning Edition at 7:32 a.m. and 9:32 a.m.
Patrick will also be joined by a rotating cast of local experts:
- John Gianforte: Director of the UNH Observatory
- Nicole Gugliucci: Physics professor at Saint Anselm College
- Amanda Leith: Astronomer from the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center
