Hello and welcome to Astronomy & Space. In this program we take a look at the highlights of the August night sky.The maximum of the Perseid meteor shower takes place on the night of August 11th which are associated with comet Swift-Tuttle, and comet ISON looks like it will be a great sight in the December night sky. Our main theme is therefore the Realm of Comets.
Thank You,
Richard Pearson

It's a golden era of exploration on Mars, with Nasa's space rover Curiosity finding out new and exciting things about the planet and which might offer the best chance of life elsewhere in our solar system.
The spacecraft Mars Express is also celebrating a decade at the red planet and Chris Lintott and Lucie Green pick out some of the highlights, including the 'face of Mars'.
Meanwhile Jon Culshaw explores the Moore Moon Marathon with astronomers in Chipping Norton.
