It’s been a busy month for Cardiff astronomers (and their colleagues). From gravity’s role in star formation<\/a> to molecules found in a supernovae explosion<\/a>, and from debris around neutron stars<\/a> to organic molecules emitted from one of Saturn’s moons<\/a>, there’s a lot to talk about. I took the opportunity to chat to Emily Drabek-Maunder<\/a>, Mikako Matsuura<\/a> and Gwen Williams<\/a> about their work.<\/p>\n

As usual, Edward Gomez<\/a> and I also talk about stories from around the world. Astronomers from the US travelled to Argentina to witness the occultation of 2014 MU69<\/a> – the next icy world to be visited by the New Horizons<\/a> spacecraft. Finally, July saw the end of the very successful LISA Pathfinder mission<\/a>.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/astrog80.astro.cf.ac.uk\/pythagoras-trousers\/mp3\/Jul2017_full_PHYSX.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
