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.   http://www.awesomeastronomy.com   Bio: Awesome Astronomy is a podcast beamed direct from an underground bunker on Mars to promote science, space and astronomy (and enslave Earth if all goes well).   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
