  • Resumen

  • In this month's programme, Howard looks forward to the end of Astronomical Twlight - and the chance to see more in the darker skies over the Island.

    Perhaps a Perseid meteor shower? The planets Mars and Jupiter are back and - dare we say it - the sun is still very active so it's just possible that there COULD be another aurora!

    The music break is Forever Autumn from Justin Hayward, and after that, Howard will be reporting on some of the latest space stories - including - a lunar cave that could be a good place to set up a base on the Moon; Perseverance has found a large rock on Mars which may show fossilised organic material - a sign of life?

    Starliner is still at the International Space Station - the 5-day trip now seems as if it will be a 3-month stay for the astronauts - and it's possible that the ISS will be visible from the Island around the end of August - weather permitting!
