Observatory

Alex's Vaonis Vespera smart telescope on its tripod
Astrophotography
BY ALEX G. ORPHANOS

A collection of Alex's astrophotography using a Vaonis Vespera, our smart telescope and primary viewing device. We also have used other telescopes and lenses, which will be noted. Grouped by target — click any tile to page through every frame of that object. The gallery is populated from my collection of images across my phone, computer, and telescope. Finally got them in one place!

People of Science

INTERVIEW SERIES

People of Science shows you the other side of science — the journey behind the STEM, and the stories of how people actually got where they are. Engineers, astronauts, artists, founders, authors and scientists on the winding, non-linear, often accidental routes into work they love. If you're a kid or an adult wondering whether there's a place for you in this: there is, and these are the people proving it.

OPEN CALL

Want to be a guest on People of Science?

Scientists, engineers, makers, artists, founders — if you work in or around science, the show wants to hear how you got there and what you actually do all day.

Mission Brief

Today In Space is here to spread love and science throughout the universe in our own Boston way. Since 2014: launches explained without the jargon wall, interviews with the People of Science actually doing the work, and honest takes on where spaceflight is heading.

The live news panel above is powered by SKYE, an AI research assistant built by AG3D Labs — the same one that preps the show's stories. This site runs on the same pipeline: when the feed updates, the site updates.

ABOUT THE HOST

Alex G. Orphanos

Science communicator · Maker · Aerospace engineer

Host of Today In Space since 2014, and an aerospace engineer by training. Fifteen years in additive manufacturing since — metal, sand and composite printing, alpha-testing hardware before it ships, and thousands of support cases for people building real parts, including for the space industry. That's why the show can go a layer deeper than the press release without losing anyone. Also a musician, visual artist, gamer, sci-fi enthusiast, and the one behind every frame in the Observatory above.
