Sunday at 20:00 GMT (9pm BST) will be the live broadcast of Episode 4 of Under British Skies.
This month, we will be talking about all things solar. We’ve got an interview with Solar Expert Dr Lucie Green from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory in Dorking, and Nick Howes tells us all about how to safely view and image the Sun in all its glory.
Plus all the usual discussion about the Sun from the team.
Don’t miss it!
SOFIA Makes the Grade
Dr. Dana Backman (SETI Institute and Astronomical Society of the Pacific)
Astronomers have discovered dusty “doughnuts” of cosmic raw material around many younger stars. In some cases, astronomers can see tantalizing hints in the rings that planets may be forming or may already have formed from this material.

We’ve dedicated a page to the #NasaTweetup and #sts132 hashtags so that we can all follow along, in real time. And, of course, don’t forget to watch shuttle Atlantis’ final launch, tomorrow at 2:20 pm EDT, on NASA TV!
