Let's Put Telescopes on Balloons with Mayukh Bagchi

Join Pheely, Liam, Patrick and special guest Mayukh Bagchi on the Hyperthesis Podcast! Mayukh is currently a PhD candidate at Queen's University. His research focuses on balloon radio astronomy. Balloon astronomy involves letting very large balloons float into the upper atmosphere whilst carrying scientific equipment to observe and take measurements of the cosmos. We discuss the various benefits of balloon astronomy compared to terrestrial approaches, along with Mayukh's passion for science communication. Before delving into this however, Pheely discusses new research from the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey team and how our Milky Way galaxy may not truly be representative of other galaxies within the universe like we originally thought. To end the episode, Patrick gives us a history lesson regarding humanities race for the biggest telescope of all time.
