45: Uranus the Oddball

<div>Izzie and Dr Becky have done episodes on Mars, gas giants, Saturn <em>and</em> Jupiter individually, so it’s about time that Uranus gets its own episode. And just so we're clear, it's UranUs, not UrAnus. <br> <br> Professor Leigh Fletcher from the University of Leicester takes the team through the basics. Plus, Izzie pays a visit to the Royal Astronomical Society’s archive to see the Herschels' notebooks from when the planet was discovered. <br> <br> <strong>Recommends <br> </strong>Late Prom 15: Moon and Stars <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/en8fbp">https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/en8fbp</a><br> <br> Public Service Broadcasting - The Race for Space - <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/4ZaAM16hw3xpp680FJahJJ?autoplay=true">https://open.spotify.com/album/4ZaAM16hw3xpp680FJahJJ?autoplay=true</a><br> <br> <br> Our next main episode is a Q&amp;A, so please send your questions to podcast@ras.ac.uk, tweet <a href="https://twitter.com/RoyalAstroSoc">@RoyalAstroSoc</a> or message us on Insta <a href="https://www.instagram.com/supermassivepod/?hl=en-gb">@SupermassivePod</a><br> <br> </div>
