In today's episode, "Fish in Space!", the Gettin' Fishy Crew travel into the great beyond with Dr. Moiya McTier, astrophysicist, folklorist and host of the podcast Pale Blue Pod! We chat about different “fish-stronauts” who have traveled to space for scientific purposes and we get to learn about some very interesting fish related folklore about the stars. Did you know that the mummichog was the first fish into space? Do you not know what a Mummichog is? Did you know that in some cultures, a celestial fish gave birth to the galaxies? Come find out!
This podcast is brought to you by Danio margaritatus, or the celestial pearl danio, otherwise known as the galaxy rasbora. These fish are located in a very small part of Burma, Southeast Asia and have become a mainstay in the hobby due to their bright colors and small size. Even though this tiny marvel is named after the heavens, it has sadly never been to space. It has been said that each galaxy danio looks up into the night sky and yearns to become one with the stars. It has been said only once, by me, just now. Cheers to you, celestial pearl danio!
