Heads up "Sky at night" tomorrow

[Timebandit]

 

Sunday evening at 10 on BBC 4

This sky at night programme is a guide to the galaxy. The milkyway is featured with a 3d map which is the most detailed ever. And there maybe 50% more stars in the galaxy than first thought 

Obviously a programme for the galaxy enthusiast. Dob mob will be glued☺

I hope you enjoy

Thanks, I hadn't thought to look.

[DaveS]

Beat me to it.

Yes, it sound like a very interesting program I'll be watching it I hope.

[popeye85]

Sounds good! Although why does it always take so long for this own to come round!! Never mind I have just found Carl Sagens cosmos on you tube which has kept me more than occupied!

[Pete Presland]

Thanks for the "heads up" sounds interesting, anything has got to be better than the brain dead, banal, Saturday nights excuse for entertainment.  As you can tell I am trying to amuse myself with processing the last set of Jupiter images, but its still making my head hurt  

[Gina]

Many thanks from me too

[Astro Imp]

Just watched it on iPlayer, thought it a very good episode.

I do like the format when one topic is covered rather than trying to cram a lot of different ones into the time available.

[popeye85]

Must say I enjoyed last night's one-especially the but saying that technically we are already touching Andromeda.

[Bathurst]

Very good episode I thought, I've been following the GAIA mission on social media and was excited for this showing. Bonus having Neil deGrasse Tyson as a guest presenter too, his top five stars are really incredible.

[Starlight 1]

Yes it was very good. best one I seen in a long time.

[LukeSkywatcher]

Dont normally watch the show. This one sounded interesting. I recorded it. No idea if i'll watch it. It will probably sit on the DVR for weeks and then i'll delete it.

I'm such a defeatist,eh?

[RayD]

1 billion pixel camera!!!  Holy cow!  That's probably got more hot pixels than my cameras combined have got pixels.

[andrew63]

Yes it was a good edition.  Next month, access to big telescopes - sounds exciting !

I most likely will. I also recorded the Horizon show before it about space junk. I do want to watch that one, so may as well follow it with S@N

[ronin]

I watched the Horizon: Space Junk, then turned over to find I had missed most of Sherlock, so watched that until the end. S@N has just lost me as a viewer these days. Cannot recall the last one I watched.

[Gilez]

I'll need to watch it on iPlayer now. Thanks for the heads up though.

Not that I get chance to watch much TV these days but I never see Sky at Night advertised on BBC 1 it 2, so usually miss it.

All the scientific stuff seems to be on BBC 4 these days...

[saac]

Just watched Sky at Night on the iPlayer - it was excellent, really worth catching if you missed it first time around.  The section on the "weird" stars by Neil deGrasse Tyson was fascinating - the universe get's all the more stranger the more I learn about it.

Watched it last night and it was certainly one of the better episodes.

Well you cant put all the quality science shows on the same channel as Eastender's. It would be an insult.

[Phil Fargaze]

Just watched it tonight and found it to be an absolutely gripping account of our cutting edge knowledge of what is going on around us. Well done to the Sky at Night team.
