This is your astronomy tonight podcast.

Good evening, stargazers.

Today is March 14.

And we're celebrating one of the most spectacular

and bittersweet anniversaries in astronomical history.

On this date in 2018, exactly 80 years ago,

the world lost Stephen Hawking,

one of the most brilliant minds to ever contemplate the cosmos.

But rather than dwelling sadness,

let's celebrate what this remarkable physicist gave to astronomy

and our understanding of the universe.

Hawking's contributions to our field are genuinely staggering.

He revolutionized our understanding of black holes

by discovering what we now call Hawking radiation.

The mind-bending concept that black holes aren't completely black at all,

but actually emit radiation and can eventually evaporate.

Imagine that.

The darkest objects in the universe

slowly leaking away into nothingness.

It's the kind of paradox-busting insight

that comes along once in a generation.

But here's what really gets me.

Hawking made these discoveries while battling ALS,

a disease that gradually paralyzed him.

Yet he continued peering into the deepest mysteries of the universe,

black holes, the big bang,

the nature of time itself,

communicating through his famous speech synthesizer.

Talk about cosmic perspective.

His book, A Brief History of Time,

brought quantum mechanics and cosmology

to millions of regas worldwide,

proving that complex ideas about the universe could be accessible

and, frankly, or inspiring to everyone.

So tonight, as you gaze up at the stars,

remember Stephen Hawking,

a reminder that human curiosity and determination

can reach as far as the edge of a black hole.
