The Discussion: This month Jeni's getting frustrated with the politics of peer review, Paul's seen an uptick in noctilucent cloud hunting and public interest in astronomy in general during lockdown. We ask 'Is Starlink actually a good thing for astronomy outreach and public engagement?', while Paul wonders if Elon Musk is aware of the fate of the Duke of Buckingham. And we delve into listeners' emails about the future of AstroCamp in a pandemic and collaborations with other podcasts.
The News: Rounding up the astronomy news this month we have:
Main News story: Has NASA discovered parallel universes?
The Sky Guide: This month we're taking a look at the constellation of Sagittarius with a guide to its history, how to find it, a couple of deep sky objects and a round-up of the solar system views on offer in July.
Guide to the Electromagnetic Spectrum: In this series we take a look at the electromagnetic spectrum, what, it is, what is shows us and why it's so important to astronomers. This month we explain the visible part of the spectrum and its relevance to astronomy.
Q&A: What are arc seconds? How do we know how far away things are like planets and galaxies? What's the measuring system? From our good friend Jeremy Hanson.
