Episode 26: Gemini

On a clear February night, Mr Max is heading for home after visiting Bread Corner. Meanwhile, Chris picks on his least favourite constellation, Gemini. The twins take a prominent place in the winter sky, but we find out why it disappoints Chris, how it harbours a strange, pulsing mystery, and why it's the place to keep an eye out for planets. There's a guide to Gemini from Sky at Night magazine here: https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/advice/constellation-gemini Geminga is visible in all its blobby glory in this image from ESA: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/ESA_is_hot_on_the_trail_of_Geminga
