We love stargazing on The Supermassive Podcast, so we thought it was about time we had an episode on the future of ground-based telescopes. From the brilliant named Extremely Large Telescope to the Square Kilometre Array Observatory, Dr Aprajita Verma from Oxford University and science journalist, Sarah Wild, tell Izzie and Dr Becky about the observatories that will transform our understanding of the universe.

It's FINALLY happening. Izzie is letting Dr Becky have an entire episode about her favourite planet, Saturn.  Professor Geraint Jones from UCL's Mullard Space Science Laboratory tells the Supermassive Team about the Saturnian system. Plus, Professor John Zarnecki shares his experiences of being involved with the Cassini-Huygens mission. And, as always, Dr Robert Massey is on hand to take on listener questions and share his stargazing tips for the month.  The Supermassive Podcast is a Boffin Media production for The Royal Astronomical Society by Izzie Clarke and Richard Hollingham. 

Are gravitational waves destructive?  Will the universe ever expand faster than the speed of light? Should we only send robots to space?

Izzie and Dr Becky explore the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter. What do we know about this big ol’ planet? And what are the missions that will find out even more? The team is joined by Scott Boulton, Principal Investigator of NASA's Juno mission, and Professor Emma Bunce from the University of Leicester, also involved with ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (aka JUICE). Plus Robert Massey shares his top stargazing tips for spring.  Everyday STEM Science - Space! by Izzie Clarke https://www.panmacmillan.com/authors/izzie-clarke/everyday-stem-science-space/9780753447963 The Year in Space by The Supermassive Podcast https://geni.us/jNcrw The Supermassive Podcast is a Boffin Media production by Izzie Clarke and Richard Hollingham.
