Green cloud is Hanny's Voorwerp
Join Event Horizon host, Nick Evetts, on Sunday, August 15th, 2010 at 1900 GMT / 3 PM EDT, when he is joined by citizen scientist Hanny van Arkel on AFM*Radio.
Van Arkel is the discoverer of “Hanny’s Voorwerp,” a mysterious extra-galactic object 700 million light-years distant. She discovered the object by participating in “Galaxy Zoo,” a citizen science initiative to catalog millions of celestial objects, mostly galaxies.
Nick will be asking questions about her discovery, as well as the Galaxy Zoo project. You, too, can ask questions via the Astronomy.FM chatroom and Twitter!
Replays can be heard during the next 24 hours, with a podcast available shortly thereafter!

In this evening program we are covering most aspects of our Sun. One rare major event occurred on June 8, 2004, which was the transit of Venus. I was privileged to observe this with members of Croydon Astronomical Society at RAF Kenley, 14 miles South of the City of London. More on this tonight, but here are many pictures we took of the transit.

The Day Spock Beamed into the Mullard Space Science Laboratories (MSSL)
Recently I was invited to visit MSSL, in the heart of the Surrey Hill, 35 miles South of the City of London. The building was originally owned by the Guinness family.
It became evident in early 1960’s that space science section of UCL was outgrowing its premises. A donation by the Mullard Company, led to the purchase of the house, which was renamed MSSL.
MSSL is part of University College London (UCL).
I was shown around by Dr Lucie Green, a Solar Scientist. Here are some images taken around MSSL.
Lucie kindly gave me an interview which you can hear during this months show or rebroadcast as a podcast.
