Astrophiz 112 - Dr Ian Musgrave's September/October Sky Guide

Dr Ian Musgrave gives us his fabulous guide to the morning and evening skies for the next month in the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, including a guide on how to observe Mars in opposition and its current nearby companion, the variable star Mira.

Mira (Omicron Ceti), is a red giant star with a white dwarf companion (Mira B) around 400 light-years from the sun in the constellation Cetus.

In ‘Ian’s Tangent’ this month he gives us the lowdown on how amateurs can observe the tail of Mercury (Yes! Mercury has a tail).

An astronomy podcast about Astrophysics, Astrophotography, Space Science and Particle Physics. Listen to a different special guest each fortnight, plus 'What's Up Doc' with Dr. Ian 'Astroblog' Musgrave & the latest Astro news.
