Uranus the Oddball

Izzie and Dr Becky have done episodes on Mars, gas giants, Saturn and Jupiter individually, so it’s about time that Uranus gets its own episode. And just so we're clear, it's UranUs, not UrAnus. Professor Leigh Fletcher from the University of Leicester takes the team through the basics. Plus, Izzie pays a visit to the Royal Astronomical Society’s archive to see the Herschels' notebooks from when the planet was discovered. Recommends Late Prom 15: Moon and Stars https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/en8fbpPublic Service Broadcasting - The Race for Space - https://open.spotify.com/album/4ZaAM16hw3xpp680FJahJJ?autoplay=trueOur next main episode is a Q&A, so please send your questions to [email protected], tweet @RoyalAstroSoc or message us on Insta @SupermassivePod Hosted on Acast.
