In light of science’s latest and greatest big project on everybody’s lips right now – the James Webb Space Telescope – Kate and Matt are joined by astronomer Stephanie Bernard (and our regular space consultant Benji Metha) to talk about some of the OTHER telescopes out there! What is the Hubble Space Telescope and why was it made? What advantages do space telescopes have over the ones here on earth? Where does astronomy even come from? Stick around ‘til the end to hear Kate answer this month’s listener question all about mozzies! If you loved what Stephi had to say, you can find more of her on her podcast: Spaghettification, at https://www.spaghettification.com.au/, @spagpod on Twitter, and @spaghettificationpodcast on Instagram. You can find Stephi personally on Twitter under @astro_stephi or on Insta under @stephoebe.
