July 1-5: A loud planet. The planet Jupiter is a little louder than usual right now -- in part because the Sun is a little quieter. We'll have details on the noisy goings-on right here in our own solar system.

July 6-12: Speeding up. Earth is speeding around the center of the galaxy a little faster than astronomers had thought, and we'll tell you why. And we'll also tell you why it's hard to make a good map of the galaxy.

July 13-19: Journeys. Two important journeys got underway 40 years ago this week. One helped prepare for life aboard a space station. The other went to the Moon. Join us for these journeys of exploration, plus much more.

July 20-26: A grand adventure. The first astronauts landed on the Moon 40 years ago this week. We'll recall their adventure, and tell you what we've learned from all the Moon missions. Join us for the flight of Apollo 11 and a whole lot more.

July 27-31: The scorpion. Scorpius is one of the easiest constellations to pick out, and it's also one of the most interesting. Join us for some giant stars, a giant family of stars, and an encounter between the Moon and the scorpion's heart.
