Beth and Leon are back to tell you what you need to know about space this month.
First, what's in the sky this month, including an amazing solar eclipse that you'll be able to watch... over live stream, because it happens on the other side of the world.
Space Flight Focus: How is SpaceX going with launching the biggest ever rocket? Well, Leon boldly forecasts that their Starships will be carrying cargo within the year.
Space Picture of the Month: We're back with more super radio friendly content. Visit our Instagram to see the pictures, and listen along as Beth talks about seeing ourselves from space, and Leon describes how the Landsat program captures data from space that can help us understand how earth is changing.
Constellation of the Month: Puppis (with special mention of a nebula that looks like a zucchini and smells like a rotten egg).
