This Night Sky News we're chatting about the asteroid 2023 DW which will have a close pass to Earth in 2046, impact of satellites on Hubble Space Telescope data, the latest images released from JWST, and the evidence from the Magellan mission for ONGOING volcanic activity on Venus . Plus I cover how to watch April's total solar eclipse if you're in south-eastern Asia or Australia.

👩🏽‍💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
