Look Up! December 2021

Royal Observatory Greenwich Astronomers Bryony and Patricia are here to tell you what to look out for in the night sky for the final month of 2021 in our family friendly Look Up! podcast.
But wait, there's more; they also bring two exciting stories that have recently broken in the world of astronomy and space science to the table. Bryony talks about the stellar beginnings of heavier elements, particularly those that are important for us, while Patricia discusses her past life of studying eclipsing binary stars and some new research recently published about the bright star(s) Algol.
