I discuss the 2025 planetary parade with James Cannon on BBC Surrey Radio during the morning drive time.

Where we discuss asteroid 2024 Y4 and what it all means, the Bullseye Galaxy, a full Einstein ring and the end of Gaia.  In space news we cover why the astronauts are (still) not stranded on the ISS, plans to de-orbit the ISS, Falcon 9 debris lands in Europe, the upcoming Blue Ghost Moon landing and a jumping robot design for Enceladus.

In this episode we discuss why Dark matter may not be real after all, the end of the Gaia mission and imaging the spacecraft from the ground.  Comet science: how comets might show us about other forces in the solar system, and when a comet becomes a headless ghost.  We also discuss the planetary parade, the New Glenn Rocket launch, Starship Flight 7, a Flacon launch abort, and a Tesla masquerading as a comet.

A recap of the biggest news stories from 2024: JWST's 2nd Anniversary of Science celebrated with the release of the Penguin and the Egg Galaxy, Chandra X Ray observatory is being decommissioned, we are now at solar maximum and all the auroras. We also discuss all the Mars Rover discoveries, comet 2023 A3 Tsushinchan Atlas, all the eclipses.
