“The Real Rocket Man: George Carruthers and the Ultraviolet Telescope on the Moon”

In this powerful episode of The Forbidden Frequency, we journey into space and history to uncover the extraordinary legacy of physicist George Carruthers — the Black scientist whose ultraviolet telescope was placed on the Moon during Apollo 16. Long overlooked, Carruthers’ invention captured the first images of Earth in ultraviolet light and revolutionized how we study space, our atmosphere, and the unseen corners of the cosmos.  From building homemade telescopes as a child to developing breakthrough instruments for NASA, Carruthers' path is one of brilliance, determination, and vision. Join us as we illuminate the story of a man whose genius literally changed the way we see the universe — and whose legacy still echoes from the lunar surface.  Tune in, and discover what happens when you see beyond the visible.
