The Egg Hunter

Join astronomer Katja Lindblom as we explore the River, from "Egg Hunting" to the Artemis mission. Wading into the cosmic current starts here.

In this first journey down the Star River, I am joined by Swedish astronomer and artist Katja Lindblom. We don't just talk about data; we explore the currents of our own histories. We trace the flow from her days as an "Angry Astronomer" fighting astronomical misinformation to her true calling as an "Egg Hunter." Together, we look at how the River of Time is fed by the small tributaries of our past. How a father's books become inspiration for us to follow. How even a "crappy" childhood telescope can act as an anchor in the rushing current of the universe.

"I'm raising my glass to you and to the connection that we have to this River of Space and Time and to the conversation that we're going to start here today. Cheers!"

We reflect on the Artemis mission, not just as a technical feat, but as a long-awaited moment where the human reflection on the lunar surface finally becomes more inclusive. And, in a moment where the river meanders into the truly strange, we consider if the entire expanse of space and time might be nothing more than the indigestion of a gigantic celestial pony.
