Episode 11: Leo

Mr Max and Chris are out in blustery Oxford, looking at the ancient constellation of Leo, the lion. We find the sky's Sickle, find our place in and the galaxy and think about looking at the distant Universe - and do not bark at anyone, even when provoked. There's a nice guide to finding Leo from Bristol's 'We the Curious' here : https://www.wethecurious.org/curious-stuff/stargazing-night-sky/where-can-i-find-leo and a gorgeous picture of the Leo triplet of galaxies here: https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/astrophotography/galaxies/leo-triplet/. A recent view of our own galaxy is available here: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/285/the-milky-way-galaxy/
