- The ‘Lithium Problem’
- Chasing down the Hubble Constant
- A new method for detecting exoplanets
- Was there another dwarf planet in the inner solar system?
Main News story: That intriguing radio signal found coming from the vicinity of Proxima Centauri.
The Sky Guide: This month we’re taking a look at the great winter constellation of Auriga with a guide to its history, how to find it, a couple of deep sky objects and a round-up of the solar system views on offer in January.
