WormholeEpisode 4 - Heliophysics Big Year with Dr. Madhulika (Lika) Guhathakurta, NASAFor the past two decades, Lika has enabled the development of Heliophysics as an integrated scientific discipline from which fundamental discoveries about our universe provide direct societal benefits.
As the Lead for the Living With a Star (LWS) program for 16 years since its initiation in 2000 she made possible the flagship missions (e.g. the Solar Dynamics Observatory, Van Allen Probes, Solar Orbiter Collaboration with European Space Agency and Parker Solar Probe), many other missions, including STEREO that would revolutionize our understanding of how the Sun shapes space weather in the solar system.
She has been...2024-03-2539 min
The DemystifySci PodcastIs NASA Warming to the Electric Universe? - Dr. Lika Guhathakurta, NASA HeliophysicsDr. Madhulika Guhathakurta is a leader in heliophysics development at NASA who is very much interested in expanding the questions and paradigms being investigated. This week we talk with Lika about her favorite projects, including the use of AI to mine data and make new discoveries. She also opens up about new initiatives aimed at determining the exact relationship between solar weather and geoseismic activity. Are the tables turning in favor of fringe ideas at the mainstream flagship?

The ForumTotal eclipse of the SunA total eclipse of the Sun is a spectacular cosmic event that can even be life changing. The 21st August 2017 sees one of the most accessible eclipses for years, an all-American eclipse crossing the United States for more than two thousand miles from northwest to southeast. And yet throughout the centuries, the sight of a total eclipse - seeing the Sun totally blacked out by the moon – has often caused fear and turmoil. Joining Rajan Datar to find out more about the history of eclipses and what they reveal about the workings of the Sun is the NASA astrophysicist Li...2017-08-0740 min
