Episode 17: Mare Serenitatis

Chris and Mr Max are back pounding the sweltering streets of Oxford, enjoying a lovely view of the Moon in the twilight sky. Find out what links Mare Serenitatis - the sea of serenity - with Daft Punk, and hear about the intrepid exploration of the region by the Apollo 17 astronauts while Mr Max equally intrepidly explores a bush. It's hot, but the sky is still beautiful. You can find a map of the Mare here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01cgb3g/p01cg9rh and find detailed photos here: https://skyandtelescope.org/online-gallery/mare-serenitatis/
