The Sky at Night team go back to basics to show you how to enjoy the night sky, wherever you are. It doesn鈥檛 matter if you live in a city or in the countryside, if you have a telescope, a pair of binoculars or just your eyes to look with.
Pete explains why the night sky changes and joins a group of novice stargazers to talk about the best ways to introduce newcomers to the night. Chris ventures onto a roof in Oxford and marvels at the moon through binoculars, and Maggie goes back to her childhood telescope-making class to talk basic telescope essentials.
Curious about the night sky but don鈥檛 know where to start? Want to know how to make the most of your new telescope? This is the programme for you!
