Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host. 

Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.

The Discussion: 

- The release of JWST’s first images, the press conferences and media coverage.

- Emails on astrophotography, Dr Jen’s TV appearances and a more politically correct alternative name for JWST.

 

The News: 

Rounding up the astronomy news in August, we have:

- We now know why Jupiter doesn’t have rings like Saturn.

- A huge triple star system with a violent past.

- A fossil galaxy – one of the first galaxies from the early universe.

- Some good news for the prospects for life on Mars.

- The big news story: What else? It’s JWST innit?

 

The Sky Guide: 

This month we’re taking a look at the summer constellation of Cygnus 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 August. 

 

Q&A:

No time for Q&A – we’ve got JWST to prattle on about!
