Description

On a cold wander around Oxford, we learn about Jupiter and its fascinating moons, from volcanic Io to icy Europa. Learn how you can watch their dance around Jupiter, about the fascinating images sent back by the plucky Juno probe, and how the Great Red Spot might not be as Great as it used to be. We also discuss Mr Max's velocity, and the theme of today's walk is: Don't Eat That!
Thanks to Jules Nixon for the question that set us off today, and to those of you who have shared photos of your dogs and sky.

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.
