Look Up! November 2018

Royal Observatory Astronomers Dhara and Greg take you through what to see in the night sky during the month of November in our family friendly Look Up! podcast. This month find out how lucky we are to be around a relatively quiet star as Greg discusses how flaring red dwarf stars might spell doom for planets around them and Dhara looks into the giants of the Universe, supermassive black holes; only this time, there's two of them. Violent mini stars, binary black holes and an update on the health of our aging fleet of satellites and probes: all on this month's Look Up!

Update: The day after recording this podcast, NASA's Kepler satellite was officially declared out of fuel, bringing an end to this fantastic and incredibly successful mission.
