Look Up! Feb 2024

What's in February's night sky? Royal Observatory Greenwich astronomers Jess and Affelia talk through some of the month's must-see cosmic objects in this podcast. They also give updates on the Peregrine 1 and SLIM lunar missions and ask what colours the planets actually are after reprocessed images of Neptune show it to be less blue than what most people think. In this we say that the SLIM lunar lander might come back online - and since recording it has successfully turned back on! Congratulations again to all the teams involved. Join the conversation on X (@ROGAstronomers) at the start of February and tell us which you prefer - the blue or green Neptune image (and say goodbye to Affelia!).
