Stargazing Live

Dara O Briain and Professor Brian Cox return to celebrate the wonder of our amazing night sky.

Live from Jodrell Bank observatory, the team kick off with a look at the mysteries of the moon and meet Captain Eugene Cernan, the last man ever to walk on its surface.

Liz Bonnin reports direct from South Africa on the differences between the constellations of the northern and southern hemispheres whilst Mark Thompson offers help on buying all the kit you need to get started in astronomy.

Dara and Brian's journey through the night sky continues with a look at black holes, the most mysterious and destructive objects in the whole universe. Liz Bonnin finds out how our galaxy the Milky Way was formed and Mark Thompson investigates the problems that are caused by light pollution.

On the final night of their astronomical adventure, Prof Brian Cox and Dara O Briain discuss aliens, extra terrestrial life and the hunt for new worlds far outside our solar system. They also find out if they've been successful in their quest to find their own Stargazing planet.

Meanwhile, Mark Thompson attempts to tackle light pollution by getting the entire population of a small town to switch off all of their lights.
