The final episode of 2019 includes a look back at a few things that have happened this year, and a look forward to the future.<\/p>\n

Chris North<\/a> & Edward Gomez<\/a> discuss the developments in exoplanet discoveries, and what future missions (such as CHEOPS<\/a>, Plato<\/a> and Ariel<\/a>) may be able to tell us about the wide range of planets out there. We’ve also had the visitation of interstellar Borisov, which we’ve discussed a-plenty on Pythagorean Astronomy. Meanwhile, IOP Wales’ Engagement Officer Dr Claudia Antolini<\/a> recaps why spacecraft have been visiting some of the smaller objects in our Solar System, and what we’ll learn from upcoming missions such as HERA<\/a> and DART. Specifically – how might they help protect the Earth one day?<\/p>\n

Finally there’s one of the biggest stories of the last year – the first image of the horizon of a supermassive black hole in galaxy M87 with the Event Horizon Telescope<\/a>.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/astrog80.astro.cf.ac.uk\/pythagoras-trousers\/mp3\/Dec2019_full_PHYSX.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
