  • Astronomers!!!....

    I noticed Brian Cox is doing 3 programmes on the BBC strting tomorrow called Stargazing Live.

    I've just been looking in my Focus magazine and there's a piece by him on what to look out for.

    A couple of espesh interesting things are:-

    Quadrantid meteor shower....evening of 3rd Jan through to the morning of 4th Jan...from the tip of the handle of the Plough

    Partial solar eclipse.... morning of 4th Jan in the SE hortizon...all over by 9.30am

    fingers crossed for clear skies

      Hi, thanks for the reminder.

      Wonder why they feel they need to have Jonathan Ross and Dara O'Briain involved. I've always thought Brian Cox to be a superb presenter.

          This was mentioned on R2 this morning. I'm also confused at the inclusion of Ross/O'Briain!

            I think possibly Dara/Jonathan are more to do with the fact they are both friends of Brian Cox's and so he has asked them if they wanted to be involved, they do talk to each other a fair amount on twitter and have appeared together before. Not that odd to be honest.

                    That would explain it!

                    As for the rest of you!

                      well i know dara has a degree in theoretical physics which would probably explain his involvement ...but i have no idea why jonathan ross is involved.. i thought he was finished with the bbc?

                            Well, having watched tonight's programme, I really think it was very good.

                            Dara was very good, he contributed very well to the progamme.

                            The bit I was really worried about was Ross. He was not entirely intrusive, but what it did point out was what a dickhead he is. Very expensive equipment, but didn't know how to use it.

                            Think we will watch the other two nights.
