We also introduce new segments for some fresh perspectives on space news. First, what's in the sky this month as usual. Space Flight Focus: Beth asks Leon about recent attempts to land on the moon and whether we'd call them successes or failures. Space Picture of the Month: The duo challenge each other to describe pictures of space. See what they're talking about on our Instagram. Constellation of the Month: Carina (and Leon manages to talk about Dune Part 2.) Find more WA space news on the Particle website If you have a question about space, message us on Instagram! We might be able to answer it in an upcoming episode. Find us @particlewa Credits Hosts: Leon Smith and Beth Maskall Producers: Michelle Aitken, Zaya Altangerel

June 2025: Wolves, Rockets, and the Great Stonehenge Conspiracy

Beth and Leon are back with your monthly galaxy guide and a cracking mix of cosmic banter, dodgy Latin puns, and eyebrow raising Aussie aerospace news recorded at SciTech on Whadjuk Noongar land. In this episode: What's Up This Month? [01:00] Beth and Leon spin left for winter skies, chasing the Milky Way across the southeast and spotting Venus on your morning coffee run. Constellation of the Month: [10:00] Tucked between showier neighbours, Lupus isn’t the flashiest, but it’s got myth, mystery, and a surprise link to Harry Potter. No, really. Solstice Shenanigans [20:00] The 21st brings the darkest day of the year (aka perfect stargazing). Beth explains how to track the Sun with your shadow—and why Esperance has the real Stonehenge. Spaceflight Focus: [30:00] Australia’s first homegrown orbital rocket launch… didn’t quite launch. Beth and Leon unpack the Gilmore Space Vegemite-fuelled debacle and remind us that nobody died, so it’s fine to laugh. A little.
