Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer Millard host. Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce.

The Discussion:

- Jeni nearly joined a cult.

- Farewell to Carolyn Shoemaker.

- The Room of Doom at Redditch Astronomical Society.

- The new updated https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/sky-guide/id576588894 Sky Guide app (that Jen works on).

- Listeners’ emails on how annoying we are and nebulae.

 

The News: Rounding up the astronomy news in September, we have:

- A new classification of habitable exoplanets.

- Astronomers find thousands of new galaxies.

- Red Dwarf stars might not be as hostile to life as previously thought.

- Have we found a new spiral arm to the Milky Way?

- Why last year’s Comet ATLAS wasn’t the comet of a generation.

 

The Sky Guide: This month we’re taking a look at the constellation of Aquarius 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 September.

 

Q&A: Why is the CMB microwave light still visible if it was first emitted 13billion-ish years ago? From our good friend Graeme Durden of Kent in the UK.
