[Gina]

ON NOW BBC4

[Charic]

..........thanks, was just going to call it a night?

[paulastro]

Many thanks Gina, came in after observing 46P, saw your post and caught it on replay.  Thanks again.

[Swoop1]

Recorded it last night and watched before bed.

SOFIA is a wonderful thing isn't it?

[ringz]

Yep, It's a massive upgrade from the previous flying observatory - The Kuiper Airborne Observatory.

I'll watch the Sky at Night while I eat lunch?

Pity it just repeated what has been shown before on Horizon if I recall correctly.

The new results were interesting but very superficially described.

Regards Andrew

I eventually fell asleep.......but watched the whole show and a few  subsequent programs?

I was impressed with the program with regards to Planetary storm systems, and I thought I had it bad with the jetstream's over Scotland!

No, the one at 11 is about potential causes for the star of Bethlehem.

Yes sorry not a repeat of this months earlier one.

No mention of it in December S@N magazine.

Ah yes - I remember this "Star of Bethlehem" one - too well really...

I thought that must be a repeat; but I've recorded it anyway to watch when the Family's all gone to bed one night

[Stub Mandrel]

I remember seeing Sky at Night once when I was a kid.

Have they brought it back?

[Gina]

Yup!   Well, it never went away - just changed...

I was jestering ? Although I haven't seen it since perhaps 1978....

Did they have TV then ? 

Never had it when I was a kid.

I've watched The Sky at Night since it began  - it was in black and white then.  Or should I say, shades of grey.  But my first TV was shades of green ?
