The Discussion: Jeni's back and the band is back together to discuss watching this year's Perseid meteor shower and coverage of the Great American Eclipse

The News: Rounding up the space and astronomy news this month we have:

• The shortlisted explorer and missions of opportunity being considered by NASA
• Jellyfish galaxies feeding supermassive black holes
• Goodbye to the Cassini Saturn explorer

'The Other Section': This month we keep Paul's festering Hat of Woo out of sight and take a long look at the Voyager spacecraft on the 40th anniversary of this programme, which revealed the solar system unlike any other space mission.
