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. Which of these piques your interest the most? Head over to our twitter @ROGAstronomers and vote on our poll at the start of the month!

Royal Observatory Greenwich Astronomer Bryony is going it alone this month, letting you know what to look out for in the night sky this November 2021 in our family-friendly Look Up! podcast.

As for our cosmic news, this month Bryony talks about NASA's newest mission, the Lucy mission, launched October 16th, and explains where it's going, what it's looking for, and where its (rather adorable) name comes from!

Join Royal Observatory Greenwich Astronomers Bryony and Patricia to hear about what's up in the sky in October 2021 in our family friendly Look Up! podcast.

But wait, there's more! Bryony and Patricia both leave the solar system to discuss recent astronomical breakthroughs, discussing the fiery ends of stars. Bryony looks at the smaller end, how white dwarf stars may not be as docile as we used to think, while Patricia talks about a new kind of supernova involving the most massive of objects.
