Connecticut Public Radio | By Lucy Nalpathanchil

Published August 29, 2017 at 9:00 AM EDT

Priya Natarajan has what some might call an affinity for the impalpable. Black holes. Galaxies. The intricacies of the universe.

This hour, the Yale-based astrophysicist talks about the experiences that triggered her curiosity and zeal for "exotica." It's the latest in WNPR's "Making Her Story" series, recorded live at the Warner Theatre in Torrington, Connecticut.

GUEST:

Priya Natarajan - Professor in the Departments of Astronomy and Physics at Yale University and author of Mapping the Heavens: The Radical Scientific Ideas That Reveal the Cosmos

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
