Guest Eddy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I watched it, it was very interesting and there were some cracking images/videos in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I saw it last night by accident, just as I was about to go to bed. It was well worth being a bit tired this morning. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would love to experience an arctic cruise up to Svalbard. The obsy one should be worth watching or recording. I was lucky enough to see the previous Venus and Mercury transits but really wanted to see venus go across again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fluke Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Damn missed it. Could have sworn I had it on series link but doesn't seem to have recorded I wonder why it's never available on the BBC iplayer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steve Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I wonder why it's never available on the BBC iplayer? It is very annoying. There website shows 'clips' and although it references the iPlayer there is no content. I guess they are hoping to sell us our programs later! A couple of years ago their website allowed you to watch everything in the Sky@Night archive, going years back, but they have withdrawn that facility. Gits!

cosmic dave Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Sky at night is shown again on thursday night on BBC4 at half seven. Just looked on the TV planner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've just watched it on the iplayer. Very interesting. Did anyone else notice that Pete Lawrence seemed to have forgotten his counterweights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Saw it on Beeb 4 Thurs night. Yeah I noticed the counterweights thing too. All a bit too tame for me - just couldn't feel the buzz - they really need to spice these programs up a bit to the same level as Brian Cox's presentations. He would have made it "feel" like the once in a lifetime historic special astronomical event that it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
