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

Jeni, Paul & Ralph pick their highlights for this month’s skies; starting with the solar system objects on offer to observers and imagers. Paul apparently has some microphone trouble or something...

- Blue/green ice giant Uranus

- The Orionids meteor shower brings us the debris from Comet Halley

- Saturn, recently liberated from the perpetual gaze of Cassini

- A not-to-be-missed conjunction of Venus and Mars on October 5th.

- Finally, a couple of comets that may be visible

Next up, we take a deep sky pick from our list of favourites for this time of year:

Paul – Spiral Galaxy NGC772 in Aries.

Jeni – Brocchi’s Cluster or The Coathanger Cluster in Vulpecula

Ralph – The Triangulum Galaxy in Triangulum

And we finish this sky guide with October’s moon phases.

The iconic Arecibo Radio Observatory has been a mainstay in science and science fiction. This Puerto Rico-based radio telescope was already in an uncertain level of funding. But now with the damage from Hurricane Maria, it might be shut down forever.

Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006.

Today's 2 topics:

- Dr. Grauer himself discovered 2017 AG5. It was far brighter than any previous asteroid discoveries. This was because it was headed outbound from us and its sunlit side was visible.

- 2016 was the warmest year Earth has seen in living memory. Humans are the cause of 90% of the temperature rise. We must study the climate more, not less.

In this short video explainer, Universe Today publisher Fraser Cain explains why we have seasons. Why is it warm in the summer and cold in the winter? It all happens because of the tilt of the Earth's axis.

Today astronauts aboard the International Space Station have to learn photography as part of their training. They spend a lot of their free time to taking pictures of Earth from their viewpoint 400 kilometers above us.

But astronauts are not the only ones with their eyes on Earth. Satellites flying hundreds of kilometers above our heads have been photographing our planet more than astronauts.

When you think of cutting edge research with NASA spacecraft, you may not realize it is High School kids who are getting it done! In this interview, hosts Dr. Pamela Gay discusses ExMASS research with kids from Commack High School.
Science enables exploration and exploration enables science. What does that mean?
