Royal Observatory Greenwich Astronomers Bryony and Patricia tell you what to look out for the night sky in September 2021, as well as giving you the run down on a couple of astronomical news stories from August in our family-friendly Look Up! podcast.
This month Patricia brings her love of Star Trek to the forefront and talks about how NASA are celebrating the 100th birthday of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, while Bryony delves into the quantum realm, revealing the solution to a paradox that has puzzled solar physicists for over 20 years.
