Hosted by Duranee. No actual ants were harmed in making this episode. Really. It's about "Swarm intelligence" via distributed algorithms for microbots. 70 Pavement ants, were, however, sent to the ISS in an experiment. Thank goodness they didn't send crazy ants! That's Nylanderia fulva if you're a budding entomologist...

Paul Hill and Ralph Wilkins host.

The Discussion: A dismissal of paranoid woo-pedalling, following what seems be an upsurge in space-based pseudoscience this month, and we introduce you to the first in our series of astronaut interviews recorded at Cosmiccon.

The News: This month we get a little disappointed at the lack of news from the New Horizons team after the initial press releases of NASA’s Pluto flyby. We take a look at the nearest confirmed rocky exoplanet to Earth, at 21 light years away, and ask ‘could we send a probe there within the span of a human lifetime?’ New evidence from many of the world’s most productive telescopes that shows the steady heat death of the universe. And a happy story to end on as NASA are offering the public the opportunity to send their names to Mars encoded on a microchip on the Insight Mars Lander next year.

Hosted by Rob Webb. We hear about the fine sights that await us under September's longer night skies. There's a lunar eclipse that's of particular note!

The beautiful bubble in the space photograph in today's album artwork is the glowing ghost of a star that was caught haunting the darkness of space. Did you know stars turn into ghosts when they die?

Well, OK, not really. There's no such thing as a ghost.

Paul Hill and Ralph Wilkins host.

This month we take a look at the constellation of Queen Cassiopeia for the beginners guide – we have the beautiful Owl Cluster; NGC 7788 or Caroline’s Rose, discovered by Caroline Herschel; and NGC 185, a dwarf elliptical galaxy discovered by Caroline’s brother, William Herschel.

Next we round up the planets that are visible in August: Uranus, Neptune, Saturn & Mercury. We look at the month’s two lunar treats: a series of conjunctions between the moon and bright star Aldebaran and a perfect lunar eclipse for many listeners on the 28th September. Comet Churyumov Gerasimenko will be visible this month near the Beehive Cluster in Cancer (sadly we won’t see ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft orbiting it!) and our deep sky challenge delves into the constellations of Sagitta the Arrow and Vulpecula the Fox for a tour of clusters and a planetary nebula.
