Look Up! May 2023

from Look Up! · host Royal Observatory Greenwich

In May's episode, Royal Observatory Astronomers Jess and Affelia take you through what to see in the night sky this month in our family friendly Look Up! podcast. We also bring you two new space news stories. First, we discuss what a recently detected repeating radio signals from a relatively nearby planetary system might mean(spoiler alert - it's not aliens!) and then we talk about a gamma ray burst known as the BOAT - the Brightest Of All Time! At the start of May, join us on Twitter (@ROGAstronomers) and tell us if you've ever seen a shooting star.
