In the accretion disc of AB Aurigae, astronomers observed a clear overall spiral structure with a little twist or a spiral kink in one of the large spiral arms of the accretion disc that marks the spot where a planet may be forming.

Join us today as we talk about radio transmitters found in the twinkling heart of the Milky Way. Then we'll look at an asteroid that has a comet-like tail. And finally, Bennu is about to be sampled by OSIRIS-Rex, and we helped make that happen!

Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Jenifer Millard host. Damien Phillips and John Wildridge produce.

You can watch the video of this recording (and our live Episode 45 recording on 27th April) at:

https://www.youtube.com/user/AwesomeAstroPod/videos

This show is a response to the many requests we get to do an episode dedicated to answering listeners’ space & astronomy questions. Producer John thought lockdown would be the perfect time to do it, when we can try and help ease the stress, boredom and isolation.

Senior Astronomer and Institute Fellow at the SETI Institute, Dr. Seth Shostak. We asked him:

- What’s currently big in the world of extraterrestrial hunting?

- What happens when we discover possibly habitable planets? From @WrathfulTumbles.

- Square Kilometre Array or JWST. Which is going to generate the most exciting science? And if each one could answer just 1 question about the Universe, what would you like it to be?  From Mark De Vri.

Other listener inspired topics discussed by the podcast crew:

- You talk about the ELT in April part 1. But how on God's green Earth do you keep a mirror like that clean? From @SeamasterGMT

US Spaceflight researcher and chronicler, Gavin Price. We asked him for:

- An overview of the Apollo 13 mission that was limping back to Earth 50 years ago today.

- The key Apollo 13 decisions and preparations that were underway at this point - a day before splashdown.

- A discussion about, and nod to the BBC World Service podcast  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w13xttx2 "13 Minutes to the Moon". From Peter Ellinger.

Other listener inspired topics discussed by the podcast crew:

- A discussion on the ‘Ashen light of Venus’ inspired by @Blixbuller

The Solar System is a really big place, and it takes forever to travel from world to world with traditional chemical rockets. But one technique, developed back in the 1960s might provide a way to dramatically shorten our travel times: nuclear rockets.

So we're familiar with regular binary stars. Two stars orbiting each other. Simple. Of course the Universe has come up with every combination of things orbiting other things, and this week we look at some extreme examples.

On the 11th of November 2019, the planet Mercury passed between Earth and the Sun. This transit of Mercury was visible across all of Africa by simply using a small telescope. In this special episode, we speak with Dr. Niruj Ramanujam from the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) about the importance of these events.
