The Sky at Night is a monthly television programme on astronomy produced by the BBC. The show has had the same permanent presenter, Sir Patrick Moore, from its first airing on 24 April 1957, making it one of the longest running programmes with the same presenter in the world.

The programme covers a wide range of general astronomical and space related topics. In the past, general topics have included stellar life cycles, radio astronomy, artificial satellites, black holes, neutron stars and many others. The programme also covers what is happening in the night sky at the time it is being broadcast, especially when something less common, such as a comet or a meteor shower, is present.

Explaining the show's enduring appeal, Moore said: "Astronomy's a fascinating subject. You look up... you can't help getting interested and it's there. We've tried to bring it to the people.. it's not me, it's the appeal of the subject."

Information or BBC

Patrick Moore wonders if there is life beyond Earth, while Chris Lintott spends the night with the giant Keck Telescope and meets alien hunter Dr Jill Tarter from SETI at the Allen Telescope Array.

Chris explores 3 ways in which to detect planets, Doppler spectroscopy, Gravitational microlensing, and the Transit method.

This month four planets will be visible in the northern hemisphere, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn, and Pete Lawrence tells us how to spot them.

In the news this month are the last signs of life from the Phoenix lander on Mars, as winter sets in and it has probably frozen dead.
MESSENGER had a second flyby of Mercury, giving new insight on the surface.

In January look for a special program on the 400th anniversary of the telescope

Another excellent episode from this brilliant series.
Thanks

Link fixed.. enjoy
