Join the Royal Astronomical Society for an online series of talks exploring their collection. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/livestream-overlapping-collections-across-the-atlantic-tickets-105821880092" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/livestream-overlapping-collections-across-the-atlantic-tickets-105821880092</a> The Supermassive Podcast is a Boffin Media Production by Izzie Clarke and Richard Hollingham

5: Exploring Exoplanets 

This month, Izzie Clarke and Dr Becky Smethurst explore the star in our neighbourhood, the annoying habits you would banish there and the extreme stars further afield. Plus the Royal Astronomical Society trusts them with a very special book from their archives: Caroline Herschel's star atlas.  What annoying habits would you banish to the sun? Or have you tried some Astrophotography at home? Share with the team via podcast@ras.ac.uk or tweet @RoyalAstroSoc.  With special thanks to Professor Lucie Green from University College London and Royal Astronomical Society librarian, Sian Prosser.

3: Our Neighbourhood Star

Brits love talking about the weather, so Izzie Clarke and Dr Becky Smethurst are taking it up a notch. This month, the Supermassive team explore the solar wind, auroras on other planets and the European Space Agency Satellite that's on its way to the sun, Solar Orbiter.   With special thanks to UCL's Professor Andrew Coates and Lee Macdonald from Oxford's History of Science Museum.
