NSF NOIRLab, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation
(NSF), has released the fulldome planetarium show, Messengers of

Energy's (DOE) Office of Science and jointly operated by NOIRLab
and DOE’s SLAC, to the forefront of humanity’s quest to
understand our ever-changing cosmos. This podcast discusses the
production process of this planetarium show and tells listeners
