Abstract

The June 2024 issue of Astronomy & Geophysics covers a wide range of topics in the field of astronomy. It includes the presentation of the 2024 Caroline Herschel Medal to Linda J Tacconi for her contributions to the study of star-forming molecular gas in galaxies. The Royal Astronomical Society's future at Burlington House is secured with a 999-year lease, and the International Bilateral Fund awards £13 million to 11 projects promoting international collaboration in space research. Other articles discuss quasars, infant star formation, and the effects of global warming on Antarctic meteorites. The issue also provides information on new books available in the RAS Library and the election of new fellows to the RAS. Additionally, the document offers summaries of various astronomical research findings, including the discovery of a supermassive black hole in a young galaxy, evidence of cannibalism by a white dwarf star, and the use of citizen science to find rare solar system objects. It also covers topics such as the potential role of the ancient Martian atmosphere in the creation of organic compounds, the ongoing "Hubble tension" in cosmological predictions, and a new theory challenging the existence of dark matter.
