Have you ever wondered what astronomers get up to?

Nic and Rebecca celebrate Future Week here at the university by inviting Joanna Lewis to the mic, who tells them all about the European Spallation Source, ESS, which is currently under construction here in Lund.  Thereafter they take a closer look at SN1572 with a little help from Katrin Ros, editor of the magazine 'Populär Astronomy'.

The Meridian is produced by Lund Observatory.  For more information, and pictures, please visit our website: www.astro.lu.se/TheMeridian
