The Sky At Night

The Sky At Night is the longest running BBC TV programme, I think. I've never managed to stay up late to watch it, but the website is good, and of course it's on the i-player now. There are even repeats on BBC 4.

I am interested to note that Mercury will be visible around sunrise from the middle of next week, looking south east. That means maybe 8 in the morning, so I shall be looking from my lab window when I get to school.

Jupiter was very bright in the sky over Wigton tonight, looking south west at about 6pm.
