Royal Observatory Astronomers Dhara and Greg take you through what to see in the night sky during the month of December in our family friendly Look Up! podcast.

In this festive season, as relatives gather for all kinds of celebrations, we look at two families in the cosmos! Dhara gives us an overview of the our current missions on Mars, our own robotic family: those ending, those still going and those that are only just beginning! Meanwhile, Greg tells us about astronomers' ongoing search for our own Sun's extended family, and how even finding our celestial siblings is a real challenge!

Update: A huge congratulations to the brilliant engineers and scientists at NASA who successfully landed InSight a few days after this recording!
