Royal Observatory Greenwich Astronomers Bryony and Patricia are here to tell you what to look out for in the night sky this August 2021 as well as a few astronomical news stories from July in our family friendly Look Up! podcast.

As for our cosmic news, this month Bryony talks about the first ever measurement of isotopes in the atmosphere of an exoplanet and how they may give us insight into where and how it formed, while Patricia discusses the recent Hubble telescope glitch and why it is perhaps a bit of a wake-up call.
