A meteor shower, which is actually a brightly burning trail of space debris left behind by Halleys Comet, will be visible in our skies over the next few days. Stardome astronomer Josh Aoraki spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Car crashes in Manhattan's congestion zone have been dropping for three years and congestion pricing may be speeding that up.

Starting Saturday, the International Space Station will be visible over the city during the evening. Plus, Bronx Week kicks off this week with free events through May 18.

SpaceTime Series 28 Episode 07Dark Matter's Role in Milky Way's Stellar StreamsNew research suggests that dark matter may have influenced the formation of the GD-1 stellar stream in the Milky Way. A study in the Astrophysical Journal Letters proposes that a core-collapsing, self-interacting dark matter subhalo could explain the unusual spur and gap features observed in the stream. This finding could deepen our understanding of dark matter's properties and its influence on the universe.Sun's Triple Solar Flare EruptionThe Sun has unleashed three significant X-class solar flares in a single day, with the first and third being X1.1 flares and the second an X1.5. These powerful eruptions, detected by NOAA's Solar Ultraviolet Imager, are part of the Sun's approach to solar maximum, the peak of its 11-year solar cycle. Solar flares can disrupt Earth's communications, power grids, and pose health risks to astronauts.Quadrantids Meteor Shower SpectacleThe Earth is experiencing the Quadrantids meteor shower, offering a dazzling display of shooting stars. Originating from the near-Earth asteroid 2003 EH1, the Quadrantids are best viewed from dark locations, with peak sightings expected in the Pacific region. Sky watchers can anticipate around 50 meteors per hour, with potential fireballs enhancing the spectacle.00:00 This is space time series 28 episode 7 for broadcast on 15 January 202500:46 New research proposes a self interacting dark matter subhalo could explain GD1 features04:24 The sun unleashed three significant X class solar flares on the same day07:19 Earth is experiencing one of its most spectacular meteor showers, the Quadrantids14:31 A quarter of the world's freshwater animals are at risk of extinction16:43 Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg admits that his fact checkers are dishonest20:28 CES has wrapped up in Las Vegas with lots of interesting gadgetswww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Glenmore Lodge, the Scottish National Outdoor Training Centre, has recently established Scotland's first hill navigation training course to be delivered in British Sign Language. One of those involved in setting it up was deaf climber and mountaineer Morag Skelton. Mark chatted to Morag for the Scotland Outdoors podcast, and we hear an excerpt where they speak about her childhood outdoors and the practicalities involved in climbing when you can't hear. For our latest Scotland Outdoors podcast, Rachel went to meet M.T O'Donnell in her garden near Glasgow. M.T is the founder of Scotland Grows magazine and the host of the Scotland Grows Show podcast. She's keen on looking after her garden in a way that's nature friendly and as she tells Rachel, that even extends to dealing with slugs. On the shores of Loch Awe near Dalmally lies the very striking St Conan's Church. Mark went for a visit to explore its remarkable architecture, both inside and out. A few weeks ago, Mark and Rachel headed across to the island of Easdale which lies 15 miles south of Oban. They got the ferry from Seil and chatted to the boatman, Alan, about who lives on Easdale and who visits. Mark also chats to Bethan Smith who owns a soap making business on the island. And Rachel catches up with Mike Mackenzie who has lived there for decades. He tells her what the community is like and how he came to live on the wee island. If you looked up to the sky earlier this week you might have been lucky to catch a glimpse of the Perseid Meteor Shower. The Perseids are one of the most dramatic things to see in the night sky and the shower will be active for another week or so. We chat live to the Astronomer Royal for Scotland, Catherine Heymans, to get her hints and tips on how to spot the meteors and what else to look out for in the night sky at this time of year. The Countryside Rangers at Mugdock Country Park in East Dunbartonshire have been taking groups out to help them learn how to identify bird species by their sound. Linda Sinclair joined a group, led by Ranger Alan MacBride at Clachan of Campsie, at dusk to listen out for our birdsong and try to identify what they could hear. Poet Matt Kinghorn decided to walk more than 200 miles from his home in Aberdeenshire to North Berwick just to offer a listening ear to anyone who needed it. Rachel met up with him at the start of his challenge to hear more about why he'd decided to do it. And to round off their trip to Easdale, the home of the world stone skimming championships, Mark and Rachel try their hands at skimming despite the rather inclement weather.

The Perseid meteor shower peaked Sunday night and this morning, with dozens of meteors lighting up the sky every hour. If you missed it, you'll get a second chance tonight and possibly Tuesday. Sky & Telescope magazine senior editor Kelly Beatty tells us how.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the podcast. Take the survey at wbur.org/survey. Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have agreed to debate on Sept. 10. Washington Post reporter Josh Dawsey and NPR senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montenaro join us to discuss that and the week in political news. And, the new "Memphis" box set includes 111 tracks that Elvis Presley made in the city. Author Robert Gordon, who wrote the box set's liner notes, talks about the collection and Presley's long history in Memphis. Then, the annual Perseid meteor shower will peak Sunday night into Monday morning. Sky & Telescope senior editor Kelly Beatty explains how people in some places could see 20 to 30 meteors per hour.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Clouds will cover much of the state Wednesday. With luck, they'll clear in the evening so you can get a look at the night sky. Each year around this time, the earth rotates through a trail of space debris. When these hunks of asteroids and comet particles burn up in our atmosphere, they give off the impression that stars are shooting across the sky. It's called the Perseid meteor shower and it is happening now — but it will peak Aug. 10-12. The darker the setting, the more brilliant the show. That's why Voyageurs National Park on Minnesota's northern border is a great place to watch the Perseids and other astronomical events.Jesse Gates is a dark sky specialist with the Voyageurs Conservancy and he joined Minnesota Now to talk about what's going on at the park and what makes it such an ideal place for stargazing.
