Over the Moon

We’re over the Moon about science, cultural stories, and celebration!

Perhaps you caught the recent total lunar eclipse, or you’re looking forward to the next Full Moon, which is when we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Quoc Viet Tran, a volunteer for the Vietnamese Museum Australia, reminisces with Dr Cat about cultural stories of the Moon and the Vietnamese version of the festival: Tết Trung Thu.

They discuss the science of the Moon and share the light of Tết Trung Thu. From folklore to Full Moons, from lanterns to lunar lore, explore how science and culture can orbit together in harmony without eclipsing the other.

Originally aired 23rd September, 2025.
