Our weekly news round-up: Robots replace security guards in San Francisco; Juno peers deep inside Jupiter's Great Red Spot; Pentagon admits to running UFO program; Dwarf planet Ceres found to be an active and still evolving world; G20 will discuss bitcoin bubble at next meeting; Uber seen as faster and more reliable than ambulances; Publicly released anonymous Medicare shown to be not so anonymous.

Dr. Kristen John of NASA's Johnson Space Center joins the Astroquarks for a wide-ranging discussion on topics from Jupiter's Great Red Spot to teleportation (yes, it's a real thing) and just what that means (not at all clear, but don't get ready to step into that transporter beam just yet). 

We get a new look at Jupiter's Great Red Spot. Plus we find out how deadly other planets can be for bacteria but how spaceships can help bacteria and fungi thrive.

Dr Lauren and Dr Krystal join Dr Shane in the studio. In news this week - animated gifs in bacteria, Juno's images from Jupiter's Great Red Spot, and water bears! First studio guest is Dr Sue Barrell, Chief Scientist and Group Executive, Science and Innovation, Bureau of Meteorology. Sue's role as Chief Scientist is about leading and connecting science across the Bureau, in making sure that we do the science we need to do, both at the practical applications level (new models, forecasting applications etc) and at the 'breakthrough' level (innovative new ideas). Second guest is Melissa Mulraney from the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute. A good night sleep is as important as a healthy diet and exercise for children to be happy and healthy. Children with ADHD are at high risk of experiencing sleep problems. Melissa co-authored a paper on sleep problems in children with ADHD investigating how consistent parents were in sticking to daily routines within the household, and whether the child had good sleep hygiene.

1000s of new planets have been discovered, so could any potentially hold life? Plus squashing rumours of alien Dyson spheres, finding out what colours Jupiter's Great Red Spot and an AI teaching assistant fools students.

This month we're outside recording under red light as we bag the latest meteor shower to grace planet Earth - the Camelopardalids. We start with reminisces about our April AstroCamp star party, radio detection of meteors and the engineering & imaging prowess of our captured Earthing slaves John & Damien. In the news we discusses the new discovery of Earth 2.0(ish), the sad shrinkage of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and Ralph gets a little bit ranty about NASA research into the melting of ice sheets. Paul shows us that size IS everything in his 5 Minute Concept as he takes us on a tour of the sun and then whisks us away to some nuclear monsters - our sun's bigger stellar brothers. Instead of an interview this month, we have higlights of Dr Chris Lintott's talk at AstroCamp where he covers Life, The Universe & Everthing in a shade over 13 minutes - and still manages to include a question from the audience (all hail Chris Lintott!) Ralph answers a listener's question on fleas, the Earth, the sun and UY Scuti (trust us… it'll all make sense). And we finish with a return to the Camelopardalid meteor shower and more discussion on how best to observe, understand and measure meteors.
