FAS Starry Nights Podcast – June 2024
Welcome to Fordingbridge Astronomers guide to the June skies above the UK. Our Constellation of the Month is Ophiuchus, a large constellation straddling the celestial equator.

Within Ophiuchus are a number of globular star clusters, and this month Mark and Michael tell you how to find them.
