Welcome to this Lund Observatory podcast where we continue to give you an insight into the life and work of our astronomers.
Judith Korth joins the podcast this week and tell us about how she found her way into astronomy research, how she ended up here at Lund University and how she now studies distant worlds far beyond our own Solar System.
In this third season we are also including some Cosmic Curiosities. These are some ideas, events or trivia from astronomic history that Ross, Victor and Lucian feel are worth bringing out of obscurity for one more look.
The Meridian is produced by Anna Arnadottir/Lund Observatory. For more information, and pictures, please visit our website: www.astro.lu.se/TheMeridian
