After tonight's episode, I was glad to see that 'Elvis' has not left the NASA building, and is the chief engineer on the Perseverance rover. It was he, who designed and came up with the Sky Crane maneuver for the Curiosity rover a few years back, this ensured that it landed safely on the surface of Mars without being 'All shook up'.....

The Sky at Night is on BBC4 tonight at 9.30 PM. It is about Mars and meteorites. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000v495

Hi Tony, please keep me up to speed on this. If it's on, then I'm in!!!! Cheers, Justyn

Are there any plans for an SLG star party at Lucksall in October/November this year? Cheers, Justyn

Welcome Steve. I go to star parties up in the Brecon beacons to do my imaging.

Here is all the Info https://www.e-outdoor.co.uk/p/montane_power_stretch_pro_grippy_gloves/?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=directory&utm_content=GBR&currency=GBP&country=GBR&SelectedBundle=193990&SelectedItem=797440&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0MD_BRCTARIsADXoopZ2a0-YZImFMN4ZLQwfbnKv92Qf4IUmDjx9jQaoZ3RfMZe92U4JPfcaAtowEALw_wcB

Here are the gloves I use while imaging when it's cold. They are very warm and you can grip any thing with them easily. I got them from Go Out Doors. Cheers, Justyn

Clouds, Star link. Insecurity lights and LP

I can quite justifiably state that my visit to Pencelli would be a work related exercise, based on educational activities.

Very interesting program. Still not convinced myself than the spectroscopic signature for Phosphine from the is from a biological source, but it would be well worth investigating further to see if it is from some sort of abiotic origin. Either way the findings of future studies will give further insights in to one of are closests planetary neighbors.

I found this article rather interesting https://www.cnet.com/news/the-mysterious-radio-burst-from-space-is-back-right-on-schedule/?fbclid=IwAR2GJ8H0xlTx48xq2d6zsBa_Hh09u1bCpxg_5SRAD1WkvmpQ5HXutdUtCUs Maybe this is going to the announcement which is delaying the S@N tv program until Monday 14th Sept.

Thanks Helen. I have just downloaded the Andriod version. It looks like a lot of fun.

Tony, I booked my usual pitch this morning!!!! Had a long chat on the phone with one of the son's. In March, I was the last person to leave the site before lock down. Pitch 13 has been booked by me.

Count me in Tony!!!!!

I agree with a number of comments above. It was one of the best Horizon programs I have ever seen. I am going to watch it again on the iplayer.
