The Meridian S02E07 - Ancient solar storms & observing reflections

The second season of the Lund Observatory astronomy podcast has arrived, giving you an insight into the life and work of our astronomers!

In this last episode of the second season Nic and Rebecca get a visitor from the Department of Geology. One does not always use telescopes to study the stars. Chiara Paleari has been using ice cores to study our own star, the Sun, and has discovered evidence of an ancient solar particle storm.

In this second season of the Meridian we are also bringing you some field reporting from the Nordic Optical Telescope on La Palma, where a team of astronomers are trying to catch an ultra-hot Jupiter-sized exoplanet.

The Meridian is produced by Lund Observatory. For more information, and pictures, please visit our website: www.astro.lu.se/TheMeridian
