Azeb & Simon interview astronomer Mubdi Rahman, PhD about why WE should care about what is happening in the stars, the annual solar eclipse, representation in astronomy and his journey as a person of color in this field. This episode was a collaboration with #Popscope, an urban movement that aims to reconnect diverse communities to the night sky and to each other by hosting free, “pop-up” astronomy nights in public spaces.
