The Microwave Limb Sounder
The Microwave Limb Sounder is a small radio telescope mounted on a satellite, looking at our atmosphere. It has made many interesting discoveries about the Ozone layer and global pollution, and has even done a bit of radio astronomy on the side!

Binary stars
Binary stars: how do they form, how many are there, why are they important and are there planets around them too? Basically, what we really want to know is… is Tatooine out there somewhere?!
