BBC TWO’S hugely popular programme, Stargazing Live, is at the Amex from 4.30pm this afternoon.
The stadium is hosting the amazing ticket-only event designed to encourage everyone – from the complete beginner to the enthusiastic amateur – to make the most of the night sky.
Stargazing Live runs from 4.30 to 8pm this evening and is organised by BBC Learning, AITC and the University of Sussex Dark Skies network, and is one of a number of events being held up and down the country bringing together astronomical societies, museums and discovery centres, country parks and local authorities.
The events include planetarium shows, rocket making, star parties, alien activities and night time star cruises as well as topical talks and discussions contributing to a national stargazing celebration.
The TV series, which returned to BBC TWO on January 8th, is hosted by Professor Brian Cox and Dara O‘Briain with over three days of live stargazing featuring epic images from observatories around the globe.
Professor Cox said, “During the last series amateur stargazers were hunting for planets and this year we will be hunting for asteroids and strange ‘spider’ like features on Mars. Everyone can get involved and you never know what we will find – there are so many possibilities out there.”
Jo Robson, Albion in the Community’s Schools Education Manager said, “We are incredibly excited to be working with BBC Learning to put on a fantastic event for all the family in celebration of Stargazing Live 2013. It’s great to see the stadium being used in such a creative and inspiring way.”
This is a ticket only event. All tickets have been allocated.
