Nobody is better than Ken Burns when it comes to crafting documentaries that speak to almost everyone. This is the case with Country Music, an 8-part series on the history of country music – “from its roots in ballads, hymns and the blues to its mainstream popularity – and meet the unforgettable characters and storytellers who made it “America’s Music.”
Logon with your last name and 7-digit Raider number, and sit back and enjoy Country Music. For more music and performing arts videos, check out Alexander Street Press.

On Thursday, NASA’s Perseverence Rover successfully landed on the surface of Mars – and scientists are already studying photos transmitted across the miles of space. “A key objective for Perseverance’s mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet’s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith.”
If you’re a “space geek” or wonder why “space geeks” are out there, you might want to listen to Why do Humans Want to Set Foot on Mars?
Congratulations to NASA and the Perseverence Team! For more on astronomy, see the Astronomy Subject Guide.
