In this evening program we are covering most aspects of our Sun. One rare major event occurred on June 8, 2004, which was the transit of Venus. I was privileged to observe this with members of Croydon Astronomical Society at RAF Kenley, 14 miles South of the City of London. More on this tonight, but here are many pictures we took of the transit.
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!
