Today's storyteller is Dr Anna Frebel! Anna is an astronomer and stellar archaeologist, working as a professor and researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Her work focuses on finding the oldest stars in the universe, and y'all this is some really mind blowing work she's doing. In this episode we learn about metal poor stars, what that means, how one can (roughly) tell the age of a star, what kind of information we learn from old stars, how one navigates in outer space, and about her book "Searching for the Oldest Stars"! This is such a great conversation, Anna is brilliant, and I hope y'all enjoy this. And also, she's #TeamHB6 to my HB5 and we talk a bit about Homeward Bound at the end. Enjoy!
