Description

On our first walk, Chris and Mr Max explore the Full Moon on a blustery evening. Full Moon is a wonderful time to go crater spotting, and we talk about Tycho and Copernicus, as well as the mysterious Moon illusion.
You can find out about Moon phases and much more via in-the-sky.org, and you can read more about Copernicus here: https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/astrophotography/moon/lunar-crater-copernicus/

Join Chris Lintott and Mr Max on their evening exploration of the night sky (Chris) and the discarded pizza boxes of Oxford (Max). Indulge in lazy astronomy: the art of being impressed simply by looking up. The podcast is your five minute guide to what to look for in our changing night sky and the stories of what's found there, as you wander with or without your own four-legged friend. Remember: No barking! Descriptions of the sky suitable for anywhere in the northern hemisphere.
