"Two Eyed Seeing: Hawaiian Indigenous Astronomy & NASA Moon to Mars”

9 am hst, 11 am pst, 12 noon mst, 1 pm cst, 2 pm est

Join us for an exciting live show on Hawaiian Indigenous Astronomy including the revitalization of Wayfinding and traditional Hawaiian methods of navigation. Students from the Volcano School of Arts and Sciences will present their research which will include a place-based activity, “Make Your Own Hawaiian Star Compasses” and essential understanding of the Hawaiian Star Families. Also an important discussion on the parallels between the Indigenous Hawaiian process of choosing a crew and the NASA process used for the Artemis Moon mission (2024) and later the Mars mission (2030’s), both grounded in similar missions of exploration but employing different technologies.

Presented by: Kālepa Baybayan, Lisa Barnard, Barbara Sarbin, Jacqueline Ramirez, and Annette S. Lee. Our lead school is the Volcano School of Arts & Sciences in Volcano, Hawai'i. Supporting organizations are Native Skywatchers, 'Imiloa Astronomy Center, and NASA. Funded by NASA – Next Gen STEM.

"NASA-Artemis Team"

At NASA, we have always answered the innate call to go. Now, we’re returning to the Moon under the Artemis program to learn to live and work on another world for the benefit of humanity. We selected an initial team of NASA astronauts – the Artemis Team – to help pave the way for the next lunar missions including sending the first woman and next man to walk on the lunar surface in 2024.

"International Space Station Toilet Tour

ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti shows how to use the most unglamorous but often asked-about part of living on the International Space Station: the toilet. A fan creates suction to avoid smells and floating waste. Solid waste is stored and put in cargo ferries to burn up when the spacecraft leaves the Space Station. The astronaut urine is recycled – into drinking water. Credit: ESA - European Space Agency. For more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-65mBQ7s_Q

"Cooking in space: whole red rice and turmeric chicken"

ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti is currently living on board the International Space Station for her long duration mission Futura. Food is an important item in space, also on the psychological side; that's why astronauts are allowed a certain quantity of the so-called "bonus food" of their choice that reminds them of their home cooking tastes. We asked Samantha to show us how she manages to cook one of her bonus food recipes in microgravity: whole red rice with peas and chicken turmeric.
