from AWESOME ASTRONOMY

This month we talk science outreach in Wiltshire and have an audio report on the aurora from Iceland In the news, we have a supernova for amateur observers in a 'nearby' galaxy and Europe's Herschel Observatory finding water plumes on dwarf planet Ceres. China's Chang'e-3 moon mission finds itself in trouble (in more ways than one!) and the European Space Agency gives the green light to the exoplanet and star characterising PLATO mission. In the 5 Minute Concept, Paul poetically explains the history and science behind one of astronomy's greatest ever discoveries, as he unwraps the concept of redshift. We interview Carole Mundell, Professor of Extragalactic Astronomy at Liverpool John Moore's University, about the most violent explosions in the universe and promoting equality in science & astronomy. And in Q&A, we answer listeners' questions on the likelihood of fatalities from the M82 supernova and why the sun doesn't just float away.
