Tricks and Treats - Atoq In a bit of a Halloween special, we explore a 'dark constellation' called Atoq, through a collection of Andean myths surrounding the fox. We'll meet Fox and watch him try to be taken seriously after a pretty unlucky start. There will be tricks played and treats given, though they might not all work out as expected. In the astronomy section of the show, we'll find out what exactly a dark constellation is, and what causes it; as well as getting excited over a very cool photograph.

Swan Song - Cygnus In episode 2 of The Celestial Tales, we explore the recognisable constellation of Cygnus through the tale of Orpheus, from Ancient Greek mythology. We'll join Orpheus on two of his quests as he discovers the power of music and learns that, when a god is giving you instructions that your life depends on, you really should be listening carefully! We'll discuss just some of the many interesting objects in and around Cygnus, including two very famous asterisms (and get clearer on what asterisms are).
Content warnings: While nothing is graphic, there are themes of death and grief in this episode - frequently mentioned from 14 minute mark onwards.
