Toonraider 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Anyone see the partial eclipse of the Sun this morning? I went to see it after work earlier but it was too cloudy to see much I was really disapointed. Talking of the skies, did anyone watch the Stargazing live last night? I quite enjoyed it.....mind, that might be cos Dr Brian is fecking gorgeous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I saw the one in 2000 (iirc) for which we had clear skies up here, whereas I think the West Country (where it was a full eclipse) had cloudy skies that day. Typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical. I think it was 1999, and luckily I had a fairly good view of it here. The clouds had cleared alittle. I will never forget that day.

Gemmill 35633 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Didn't watch it. Apparently there'll be another one in 28 years so I thought I'd save it til then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26853 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I tried to get a look at it on my flight this morning but was on the wrong side. Not sure if they could see much from the other side tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it being repeated? its being shown on Stargazing live tonight Recorded that to watch with the bairn. Was it canny or geeky? tbh CT, alittle bit of both. I enjoyed it though. but then I like Dara and Dr Brian and I am really into anything to do with the skies! I was at a mates house the other night out in his conservatory in the dark peering into the sky to try and see Jupiter. All serious like. I went off to get a drink and came back to find hubby zooming in on a local hotel watching people go about their business in their hotel rooms Edited January 4, 2011 by Toonraider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4016 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I thought that Stargazing (should have called it Stargazer and used the song as theme/background) was caught too much between catering for people with an amateur interest like me and dumbing down too far for people who'd never looked up in their lives. Would also have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been so cloudy last night which prevented following up on the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Liked that Solar System thing Dr Brian Cox did. I think it was repeated recently although I'm not sure if it was on BBC3 or Eden or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the way Dr Cox explained things easily so dimwits like me could follow He is very pretty on the eye too, just as lovely as the stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
