Science: On and off the planet

Each week, Uneclipsed finds a recent academic scientific research paper or letter.  We drag out of it one or two key ideas and explain them.

Hopefully it’s accessible, clear and by the end you might have found out something you didn’t know before you started.

We provide references and links to related articles. We look for useful pictures and diagrams.

We keep equations, jargon and references to Professor Brian Cox to a minimum.

We urge you to support conservation around the world and would like you to meet the representative of our preferred project. This is Sirocco, the kakapo.

To support these wonderful animals visit kakaporecovery.org.nz

It should be fun. Join us.
