    ...no?

    Good.

    In that case, is anyone else watching the Star gazing live programme?

    It's a great way to try and interest the curious into cheap and easy astronomy, if only they could get Brian Cox and Dara O briain to shut up and let the others talk.

    On tomorrow and Wednesday too. Well worth a look because good astronomy is easier than people think. I let my niece see the clouds on the surface of Jupiter over Christmas and the look on her face when I told her what she was looking at was priceless.

    Quite like Brian cox - bit of an everyday common mans professor. (if there is such a thing)

    Didn't see it on, would have watched if I'd have known.

    He is brilliant but he keeps asking the others question and then doesn't stop asking the question while they're trying to answer it. I met him at CERN once and he had a film crew in tow then.
