This Sunday BBC4

[DaveS]

This Sunday BBC4, 9.00 pm, Destination Titan, a repeat about the team behind the Huygens probe, followed by Sky at Night, 10.00pm looking at the possibility of life on Mars.

Oh yes, and Planet Earth II on BBC1 at 8.00. I think that's my evenings TV sorted.

With the Moon getting so near full I'm not sure if I'll be imaging, even if it does clear.

Will record the BBC4 offerings, as I will try MARS over on Discovery at that time

Ta for the heads up - I'll have to watch it on catch up cos I'll be watching Humans on the other side at 9pm.

Heads up, program starts out saying Saturn is "a billion and a half miles away". A quick google search shows this to be wrong. If they can get such a basic fact wrong, makes you wonder what else they say is a load of tosh.

John Zarnecki actually was referring to the space craft being a billion and a half miles away. He did also add "near Saturn" though, which I agree could mislead.

I'll watch out for "tosh" as the programme contines.

My understanding is they said the spacecraft had to travel a billion and a half miles to get to its destination, not that Saturn was that distance from earth.

An enjoyable evening's viewing
