Paul Hill and Ralph Wilkins host. -- 1h 37m 53s long.

Summary of content:  

The Discussion: Upcoming full-length interviews with 4-time Shuttle astronauts Kathy Thornton & Don Thomas, Skylab 3 & STS-3 astronaut Jack Lousma and Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden. Dragging Sokol spacesuits around the UK for educational endeavours, promoting astronomy with the UK Space Agency at the Harwell campus and enjoying Nelly Ben Hayoun’s asteroid movie, Disaster Playground, at the British Film Institute.

The News: This month we take a look at NASA’s historic close up of the outer most classical planet as the New Horizon’s spacecraft flies by the Pluto system. CERN’s discovery of a new particle using the Large Hadron Collider – the Pentaquark. The possibility that those mysterious white spots on dwarf planet Ceres are creating a localised atmosphere. A Neptune-sized exoplanet orbiting so close to its parent star that its atmosphere is being blown away like a comet’s tail and Europe’s Rosetta spacecraft continues to attempt re-contact with the functioning Philae comet lander.

The 5 Minute Concept: We kick off a series of back-to-basics 5 Minute Concepts for practical astronomers with a look at what those numbers on your telescope mean. This is a tour of aperture, focal length and focal ratio.

The Interview: This month we welcome back Dr Joe Liske for the final time to tell us about the future of the European Southern Observatory and their exoplanet hunting, dark energy characterising European Extremely Large Telescope.

Q&A: Listeners’ questions via email, Facebook & Twitter take us on a journey into the astronomy issues that have always plagued our understanding or stretched our credulity. This month Ralph & Paul answer:

What's excited you more: Rosetta or New Horizons? For me, the latter.Eric Emms, London UK, via Twitter

Sci-fi Wars: Matt Kingsnorth & Phil St Pier join us again to go through the listeners’ results in our Sci-Fi Wars series. You voted for your Top Ten Sci-fi TV Series, books and movies. We present the results!

Description: The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program is a National Science Foundation program that recruits undergraduate science and math students to participate in summer research programs at various sites around the country. The National Optical Astronomy Observatory has run an REU program for many years. In this podcast, the 2015 REU students discuss their summer experiences at NOAO.

Galaxies are collections of hundreds of billions of stars. But did you know that some galaxies grow even bigger by gobbling up smaller galaxies?

This week I chat with Adam Hawken of Brera Observatory about galaxies vs. dark matter, using the motions of galaxies to understand dark energy, and…paper airplane fights.
Listen to the whole show at http://www.realspacepodcast.com or by following Paul Sutter at http://www.twitter.com/PaulMattSutter!
Special thanks to Brera Observatory for hosting this recording session.
Join our host Paul Sutter as he talks about space with people who talk about space! Featuring the lives, interests, and passions of today's leading young researchers and educators from around the world. Scientists are people too: come meet them!

Paul Hill and Ralph Wilkins host.

This month we take a look at the constellation of Cepheus the King for the beginners guide – we have the first galactic tape measure: the original Cepheid Variable, a red supergiant star: Hershel’s Garnet Star and the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula.

Next we round up the planets that are visible in August: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune. We look at the month’s moon phases and enjoy a supermoon (or perigee-syzergy) on the 29th. August treats us to the best meteor shower of the year – the Perseids – falling on the 12th of August with no moon to dampen the show. We also look forward to rare comet conjunction occurs in August with Rosetta’s Comet 67/P and comet 141/P sharing the same field of view in telescopes. For our deep sky challenge we look at the constellation of Aquarius for a tour of globular clusters and planetary nebulae.

August turns out to be a much less exciting month than the previous couple, but it brings us the best meteor shower of the year and good views of Saturn along with short, but very warm nights.

The Dark Night Crusader and her side kicks tackle the problem of light pollution in Florida. Sea turtle hatchlings get confused by light coming from the land and don't make it to the sea and die.
