Enough of the pictures, especially as I can’t always get them to resize. Tomorrow’s program is the end result of more than a year’s hard work by a cast of thousands (well, it’s felt like thousands by normal Sky at Night standards). We did an ‘archive’ programme for BBC4 (hopefully this will be reshown at [...]

This Sunday’s Sky at Night, at the (for us) earlier time of 11.30, will be worth watching. It’ll be a full half hour long, and will be the first half of the 50th anniversary celebrations. More details later in the week.

New Mexico is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been, but I’d be careful about saying I was an astronomer around there right now. They’re so upset about the demotion of Pluto (discovered by local Clyde Tombaugh) that their senate has decided that it will be a planet when it passes through their [...]

We were running around at the weekend, recording the last of the interviews for the 50th anniversary programme and enjoying the lunar eclipse. Spectacular, wasn’t it?
Anyway, with only one more bout of filming to go and the rushes looking fantastic, time for another photo.addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fchrislintott.net%2F2007%2F03%2F07%2Fnearly-there%2F’;

His headline is ‘All those scientists may still be wrong’ and he is talking about climate change. The [...]
