Awesome Astronomy - August Part 1
Paul Hill, Ralph Wilkins and Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard host. Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. The Discussion: - The release of JWST’s first images, the press conferences and media coverage. - Emails on astrophotography, Dr Jen’s TV appearances and a more politically correct alternative name for JWST. The News: Rounding up the astronomy news in August, we have: - We now know why Jupiter doesn’t have rings like Saturn. - A huge triple star system with a violent past. - A fossil galaxy – one of the first galaxies from the early universe. - Some good news for the prospects for life on Mars. - The big news story: What else? It’s JWST innit? The Sky Guide: This month we’re taking a look at the summer constellation of Cygnus with a guide to its history, how to find it, a couple of deep sky objects and a round-up of the solar system views on offer in August. Q&A: No time for Q&A – we’ve got JWST to prattle on about! http://www.awesomeastronomy.com Bio: Awesome Astronomy is a podcast beamed direct from an underground bunker on Mars to promote science, space and astronomy (and enslave Earth if all goes well).
