The unlikeliest duo to teach you all about the universe and how to view it are back on our television screens this January. The second series of Stargazing LIVE is due to begin this coming Monday the 16th January 2012 on BBC 2 and will air over three consecutive nights.
The talented and enthusiastic Dr Brian Cox and Dara Ó Briain will grace our screens again next week. Like last year, they will bring the breathtaking sights from our own night sky into our living rooms. In this series, this odd couple intend to address questions such as why the moon causes tides, how we know black holes exist when we can’t actually see them and what we would actually say if we were contacted by an alien race. Interesting food for thought.
Over the next month, there are several stargazing parties and opportunities to look through a telescope yourself around the United Kingdom. You can search for an event near you on the BBC website.
Stargazing LIVE airs on BBC 2 at 8:30pm on 16 January 2012 and at 8pm on 17 and 18 January 2012.
