Stargazing Live Episode 2

This is the 2nd episode of the incredible 3 part series hosted by Brian Cox and Dara O'brien. The aim of it was to bring the Universe closer to our homes.

In this episode,
Liz shows us images of the sun,
Brian explains how we know where every planet will be at a certain time,
Liz talks about blackouts from CMEs.
We are shown images of the Andromida Galaxy, our nearest neighbour,
and a weirdo talks about sound in Apace.

Of course, the end features the viewing conditions weather forecast from the BBC which is not accurate today.
