Description


This episode is dedicated to a winter wonder, the Orion Nebula. Learn about Chris' favourite object as we hear how conditions in this nearby stellar nursery may have given us a clue to the start of life on Earth while Mr Max explores a new set of streets in search of pizza.
Amazing image of the nebula from Hubble here: https://hubblesite.org/contents/media/images/2006/01/1826-Image.html

But I also really love Will Gater's sketch of the nebula: https://www.willgaterastrophotography.com/sketches/e63vefwte0w2z754kbq2mmqo40yrgw

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.
