Galaxies, Dreams, and Data – Interview with Dr. Julia Blue Bird

In this episode of Space on Earth, the Astro Youth Taos Chapter interviews Dr. Julia Blue Bird, a radio astronomer and engineer whose journey from Pine Ridge to NASA to the New Mexico desert is as inspiring as the galaxies she studies. Dr. Bluebird shares how her love for the night sky as a child led to building communication systems for the Orion spacecraft and researching the cosmic web through neutral hydrogen. With reflections on indigenous sky knowledge, discovering a rare dwarf galaxy, and the wonder of looking up, this episode reminds us that space—and science—is for everyone.
