Good evening. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Welcome to the second of our programmes | 0:00:31 | 0:00:33 | |
celebrating the 55th anniversary | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
of The Sky At Night. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
Well, we did it in two parts. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Last month, you remember, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
I collected 55 of my favourite objects in the sky | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
visible this month and asked viewers to look at them | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
and make drawings or comments about them. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
And we had an amazing reception from all over the British Isles, | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
Europe, even from America. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
And it really was fascinating to see | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
how much people learnt from it. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
So, with me are my usual guests. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Chris Lintott, Pete Lawrence and Paul Abel. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Welcome also to Jon Culshaw | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
who knows more about me than I do myself. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
Quite right too. Very happy to, sir. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
I don't know the difference. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Well, there we are then. Let's go and let's start with you, Chris. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
Sure, I think the really interesting thing was | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
that people clearly had a lot of fun doing this. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
I certainly did. As you say, I found things I'd never seen before. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
We had a lot of people showing their friends and family the sky. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Parents showing their kids the sky, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
kids showing their parents the sky, more often than not. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
I was amazed by the variety of what people saw | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
and also by the few people who managed to see all 55. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
I certainly didn't get anywhere | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
close, so I'm impressed with them. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
I have in my time, certainly not all in one month. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
This month was tricky, but, Jon, why don't you guide us on our way? Where do we start? | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
-The perfect starting point of the moon. -Of course. -The moon. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
JON: Many observations. It's many people's favourite object. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
CHRIS: What was it about the moon that...? | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
I was shown it through a telescope | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
and I hadn't realised how many mountains and craters there are. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
And I soon as I saw that, I realised this is something very different. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
-And I got onto it. -It really does draw you in. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
Even though it's a really easy thing to see in the night sky, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |
it was actually starting to move out of the way | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
at the beginning of April, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
and a number of people actually managed to get around that | 0:02:26 | 0:02:28 | |
by seeing it during the daylight. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Pete Glastonbury from Wiltshire, for example, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
says, "Easily visible in the daylight above houses and eaves." | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
JON: There's a wonderful description of a lunar observation | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
from Philip Jennings of York, who's got a wonderful turn of phrase. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
and custard-coloured, rising over | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
"the dark Lakeland fells, surrounded by billowing pink cloud." | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
It's like something Les Dawson would have written. It's lovely. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
It's a great, great book title. The Custard-Coloured Moon. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
- The Custard-Coloured Moon! - A romance. It has that feel to it. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
Of course Mars is number 6. I love Mars. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
This first encounter with Mars, we meet it later on, | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
was really a sort of naked eye view of it and the one thing which really | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
stands out when you look at Mars with the naked eye is its colour. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
-Yes. -It's intensely orangey, peachy-orange. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
JON: A wonderful copper new penny sort of thing. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
-A good way to describe it. -It's lovely. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
Mars can actually get bright enough to be the second brightest planet, | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
but the planet that takes the crown for being the brightest planet of them all is Venus. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
That's number 7 on the Moore Marathon. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
It's been stunning in the evening skies hasn't it? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-Like an oil lamp out at sea. -Yes. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
It's named after the goddess of love and beauty. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
There can hardly be a more unpleasant world. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
-That's right. -I missed it. -Did you? -Cloudy. -That's a shame. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
Martin Campbell mentioned that it was low in the west and it looked | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
like a searchlight and I think that sums up Venus beautifully. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Terry Hooper from Fleet summed it up for me - beautiful. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
-Beautiful. -One word, beautiful! | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
Number 10 then - Spica. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
I'll be honest, I don't know why this is on the list. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Why not? What have you got against Spica? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
Saturn was nearby. Who's going to look at Spica when you've got Saturn nearby? | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
Spica is a lovely star. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-It's the brightest star in the constellation of Virgo. -Yes. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
And it's very, very white in colour. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
Shall we move on to number 13? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
-Lucky for some, the Hyades. -Oh, yes. In fact, we've got two, haven't we? | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
We've got Hyades at number 13 and the Pleiades at number 14, | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
so we've got the two beautiful open clusters in Taurus the Bull. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
I always find the Hyades best with binoculars, and the Pleiades. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
The telescope just spreads it out too much. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
And Pat Clough from Wycombe Astronomical Society saw the Hyades. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
She says, "Very low west, fading into the London exhaust fumes." | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:04:49 | 0:04:50 | |
If that's not poetic city astronomy, I don't know what is. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
Maybe we should get a book going on that, poetic astronomy. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
- I think absolutely. - Perfect binocular objects. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
How many stars can you see in the Pleiades with the naked eye? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
From here, I have counted, on a very good night, 15. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
That's very good. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
I got one more than you, 16. And from your garden. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
-It may have been 17... -In fact, I think it was 18. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
-19 was my highest. -It's very important to realise | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
astronomy's not a competitive sport, at this point. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
But it is a good sign of your sky and your eyesight. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
But, Pete and Paul, as our veteran observers, throughout April, | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
despite the horrible weather, they were keeping video diaries. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
So let's take a look and see how you got on. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
We're going to do the Moore Marathon tonight, what do you reckon? | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
I know. It is not looking promising, is it? | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
Well, I'm here in my garden again now. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
Now I can see the moon rising up above the trees over there. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
And if I look at it very carefully, I can just about make out | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
the tiny circular features, which is known as the Mare Crisium. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
Torrential rain, wind, gales. Ugh. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
And there it... And wow. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
Really chose a bad time to start the Moore Marathon. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
There's the planet Jupiter. Then above Jupiter, | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
a brilliant planet. Venus. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
I can just make out the twinkling stars next to Venus | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
and they are the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
and that's another entry in the Moore Marathon. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
I do feel a bit guilty | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
because we did have a brief clearing at the start of April. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
And I thought, "Oh, I've got plenty of time. I'll do it later." But... | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
Cassiopeia, the W constellation, the Seated Queen. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Ah... | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
And that's another entry on the Moore Marathon. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
I'm going to put the time in and wait up until 3.15 in the morning... | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
Wow, that is stunning. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
..and see if I get anything. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
Polaris, that's item number three. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
So, fingers crossed. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:55 | |
La Superba, or to give it its proper name, | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
Y Canum Venaticorum. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
It's blowing a gale out there. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:02 | |
That's great. I'm pleased I've seen that one. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
It's so cold as well. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Messier 13. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:07 | |
That's the great globular cluster in Hercules. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
Oh, why did I leave it so long?! | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
The sky is starting to get lighter I think because dawn is approaching. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
I'm pretty tired, | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
but I'm really glad that I have now completed the Moore Marathon. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
Good night. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
Well, Pete, absolutely La Superba from you. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
Wonderful, wonderful. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
Paul, well... | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
AS PATRICK MOORE: It's a marathon, not a sprint. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:07:36 | 0:07:37 | |
-Quite. -Well... | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
So, the next object couldn't be more different, | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
could it? | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
-The International Space Station. -It's a crowd-pleaser. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
It is a crowd-pleaser. I mean, I don't regard it as astronomy, | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
but when you point up to people and say there's human beings in that... | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
It pushes through any kind of light pollution. It's not bothered by it. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
It's so bright. Incredibly bright. | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
And I liked the comment from David Whinham in Newcastle, who says, | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
"My father lives six miles away from me and watches the predicted time | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
"of the ISS flypast as well. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:08 | |
"And from his garden and I from my flat window, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
"we await for the ISS to appear in the night sky." | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
And it's that social thing of realising it's passing overhead | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
that I really like. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
Number 17, Chris, you want to pronounce this. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
I think this is the most disappointing object but I was hoping we'd resolve a mystery. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:26 | |
This is Zubeneschamali | 0:08:26 | 0:08:27 | |
or the Northern Claw which is the brightest star | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
in the zodiacal constellation of Libra. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
-That's right. -People say it's the only | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
single naked eye star | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
which is green, but I think there's a lot of wishful thinking there. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
We didn't get a single comment saying it appeared green. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
The best thing about that star is that it's called Zubeneschamali. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
- Zubeneschamali. - It's fun to say. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
Zubeneschamali. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
-At number 21, then, 55 Cancri. -Not much to see here. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:58 | |
As you said earlier, this is the theorist's object. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
This is an object to think about because it's the brightest star, | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
apart from the sun, of course, that we know | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
has planets going around it, and we've detected signs of five planets. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
The smallest of them about a tenth of the mass of Jupiter | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
orbiting this world. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:15 | |
I still get a huge kick out of looking at a star in the sky, | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
knowing that it has a solar system. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
I particularly like the comment by Chris Pearce. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:25 | |
This is quite nice, Patrick. He says, | 0:09:25 | 0:09:26 | |
"Fairly ordinary star till I learn the fact that it has five orbiting planets. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
"I wonder if someone on those planets has a Moore Marathon to do. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
"And is looking at us thinking the same thing." | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
I think that's quite lovely. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
I quite agree. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-They didn't send in their forms, though, so... -They may be en route. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
Right. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:45 | |
Anyway, if we go from the spring sky again | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
and spring into the summer sky | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
we're coming back to one which was quite tricky again. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
This is the Summer Triangle. It's tricky because | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
you have to wait until the early hours to see | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
all three stars above the horizon. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
A number of people commented that Altair | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
was playing peek-a-boo with the clouds on the horizon. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
That's from Wayne Young in Berkshire. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
Rebecca Taylor says, "I can still see it at this time of morning, 5.20. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
"Birds very vocal". I presume she means the wildlife. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
Yeah. And another complaint, Patrick. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
-Didn't you...? Summer Triangle was the name you popularised. -Yes. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
I've a complaint for you from Eddie Carpenter from Gloucestershire. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:30 | |
It's an anniversary, but we should deal with complaints. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
He says, "The Summer Triangle should be called the Autumn Triangle | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
"because it's easier to see when it's in the early hours of the evening". | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-I always say it should be the Winter Triangle! -Right! | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
It's visible for ages once it comes up. It is right through to December | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
you can see the Summer Triangle. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:47 | |
I like seeing it this time of year because you know | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
that the warm nights of summer, short though they are | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
are really on their way. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:55 | |
Where did we get to next? | 0:10:55 | 0:10:56 | |
CHRIS: Object 24, of course, Sagittarius, | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
or at least the form of The Teapot. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
That's not a teapot! | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
It is a teapot! | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
You cannot see it as anything... It's a very angular teapot. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
It's nothing like a teapot! | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
What do you see it as? | 0:11:11 | 0:11:12 | |
I don't see anything. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
To me it's a teapot hanging there just on the horizon. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
It is to me I'm afraid. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
Wayne Young from Thatcham in Berkshire said, | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
"I can see it sitting on the horizon..." | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
that's how I see it, | 0:11:23 | 0:11:24 | |
"..as the sky started to brighten as dawn approached". | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
-He's never seen it from the UK before. -Brilliant. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
Patrick, I've got a question about the next one - Alphard. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
Why on Earth is Alphard on the list? | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
It's a nice enough star, but... | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
It's a solitary one, right by itself. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
It's a lonely star, which I enjoy looking at. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:45 | |
So we should pay some attention to it. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
Steve Elliott summed this up brilliantly. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
He said, "Another new one I had not paid much attention to, | 0:11:49 | 0:11:53 | |
"It is well named as there's not a lot around it". | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
-It needs comforting. -Exactly. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
Now, Patrick, we have a chance to speak to | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
some of the participants of the Moore Marathon on the telephone. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
First we're going to go to Glasgow and we have Nicola MacIntyre. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:09 | |
Hi, there to you. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:10 | |
-'Hi there.' -How was your Moore Marathon experience? Did you get a great many of them done? | 0:12:10 | 0:12:15 | |
'Yeah, we did. We don't have a telescope as yet so we just done most of the naked eye ones. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
'But we had great fun.' | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
Who else joined you to do it? | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
'My two sons, Christopher and Jamie.' | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
How many objects did you get in total? | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
'We managed to see all of the naked eye ones on our own so that was great.' | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
That's more than me. Well done. I only managed five on account of the poor weather, but... | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
'Is that right?' | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
Everyone's had a good laugh except me. Never mind. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
Thanks for taking part. I hope you continue in the future. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
'Thanks very much.' | 0:12:43 | 0:12:45 | |
Nice to have heard you. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
Now we go back to the Moore Marathon lines. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
We go to Fareham | 0:12:49 | 0:12:50 | |
and we are joined by Graham and Kaylee Walker, father and daughter. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
Hi there, to you. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
-'Hi there.' -'Hello.' -Oh, you are both there. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-How many did you get? -'16.' | 0:12:58 | 0:13:00 | |
16? That's pretty good, that's more than some of The Sky At Night team, | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
I have to say, so you're doing rather well. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
Kaylee, which were your favourite objects? | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
-'The double star and...the moon. I think that's quite cool.' -Yes. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
'Because I saw the craters. It's amazing!' | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
Nice to have heard you. After all, I was seven when I started. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
Which was 83 years ago. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:25 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:13:25 | 0:13:26 | |
-'Thank you.' -Bye for now. Well done. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
Excellent, well, let's move on to the binocular objects. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
-So, number 26, the Coathanger Cluster. -But it's not a cluster. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
It's actually, this is another asterism. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
And it's called that because, amazingly, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
it looks like a coathanger. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:43 | |
An upside-down coathanger through binoculars. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
You can see it with the naked eye, too. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
Martin Campbell from Northern Ireland | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
agrees with you. "It does look like a coathanger." | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
Exactly like a coathanger | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
but those stars are not | 0:13:53 | 0:13:54 | |
they were not formed together. It's just a chance alignment. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
Another example is the Double Cluster. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
But these are real clusters. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
These are clusters of stars which have all formed | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
out of the same material. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
I always think it's like | 0:14:06 | 0:14:07 | |
a black cushion you've spilt sugar over. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
A Double Cluster looks something like that. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
That's great. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
It does. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
Chris Pearce actually says, "Nice cluster. Very low in the sky, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
"but lost slightly due to neighbour's outside lights." | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
-Turn those lights off! -Chris, | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
go round and tell them to turn them off. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
That's a moment when you'd need Patrick's kind of sense of humour. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
"The neighbour's lights are on and there's nothing we can do about it, or maybe there is." | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
-So, why don't we come back closer to home for the next object. -Yes. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-One of your favourite lunar craters, Patrick. Tycho. -Tycho Brahe, | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
"Two-kho Brahes", it should be. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
One of the brightest craters on the moon. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:49 | |
With the rays. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
I like Tycho, because if you imagine the moon as a beach ball, | 0:14:51 | 0:14:56 | |
I think Tycho would be the air valve. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
-It would be. -Very good. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
You could write a book, Alternative Astronomical Interpretations. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
MIMICS CHRIS: It's like the moon is a beachball | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
and Tycho is where the air goes in. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:09 | |
- I've no idea who you're being. - No, no, no. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
The next object on the Moore Marathon list | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
is one of my favourites | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
because of the name. And this is La Superba or Y Canum Venaticorum. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:23 | |
La Superba! | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
You know why it's called La Superba. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
I do. Let's talk about why it's famous first | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
because it's this beautiful very red ruby star. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
I didn't really know what it was. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
-I thought it was a galaxy. -Oh. -So I spent 15 minutes | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
looking for this wretched galaxy, no doubt with La Superba popping in and out all the time. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:41 | |
I said, "Pete, I can't find it" He had to tell me it was a red star. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
The point is, and you weren't the only one. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
Sarah Dunwood from Warrington in Cheshire said, "Imaged a number | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
"of these objects. Was particularly pleased to have found La Superba | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
"which took some patience". Well done to Sarah. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
But the reason it's called this | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
isn't anything to do with the colour. | 0:15:58 | 0:15:59 | |
It's when they started taking spectra of the stars in the 19th century, | 0:15:59 | 0:16:04 | |
splitting the light up into its constituent parts and looking for the signatures of elements, | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
there was this ridiculously unusual spectrum. They saw the signature of carbon | 0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | |
in the atmosphere of the star, and so it's called La Superba because of what it looks like | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
not through an eyepiece, but through a spectra scope. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
-I've got an image now of these spectroscopists... -An Italian spectroscopist... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
..looking at the spectrum and going, "La superba!" | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
That's precisely how it was. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:29 | |
- And the name stuck. - Had it been discovered in Luton, it might have in called the Very Nice. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
LAUGHTER Patrick, at this point in the marathon, | 0:16:33 | 0:16:37 | |
I'm going to take a sit down and a bit of a rest | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
because some people have been doing the Moore Marathon in groups | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
and Jon went along to the Hampshire Astronomical Group | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
to see what they were doing. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
It's a very windy day in Hampshire, | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
overlooking the village of Clanfield. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:55 | |
It's not raining, at least. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
But unless this wind dies down, we won't be able to open the domes | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
and see some more of those breathtaking astronomical objects | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
as part of the Moore Marathon catalogue. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
Well, I've very much been enjoying taking on the challenge | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
of the Moore Marathon at my home in Lancashire, | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
and in London too, despite some of the light pollution. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
And I'm glad to say I managed to get a fair few on that list, | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
such as the moon and Mars and Polaris and the Pleiades, | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
the rings of Saturn, as well as some of those deeper sky objects, | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
such as M81 and M82 | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
and the Beehive Cluster and La Superba, that wonderful red star. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
But I've come here to this wonderfully atmospheric spot | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
to join the Hampshire Astronomical Group here in the village of Clanfield. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
And I hope they'll help me find a few more | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
on that list of the Moore Marathon. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:46 | |
'The group is 52 years old, | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
'and they finally settled on the Clanfield site back in 1972. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
'They have nearly 200 members and run star parties | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
'and events all year round. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
'And with them tonight is that stalwart and very good friend | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
'of The Sky At Night, John Mason. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
'And John's been relishing playing his part in the Moore Marathon.' | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-Right, let's go, mind your head. -Wow, this is majestic, isn't it? | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
It is a fantastic telescope, it's a beautiful dome. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
This is 24-inch Newtonian reflector. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:19 | |
What I like about the Moore Marathon | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
is that you've got objects in there where you don't need a telescope | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
-like this to get involved. -Yes. -You can just use the number one eyeball. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
And the great thing is you've got objects that everybody can look at, | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
and then you've got some really lovely objects | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
that you need a big telescope for, | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
and are more taxing and more difficult. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
What have been some of the more challenging objects for the real dedicated amongst those? | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
In terms of challenging objects | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
probably the galaxies because they're fainter | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
and because | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
I think a lot of people have this idea because of these lovely pictures in books | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
they think, "I'll look through a telescope | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
"and it's going to look like that". | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
Unfortunately that's not the case. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
Even with a big telescope like this you need a very clear night, you need very dark skies, | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
you need the air to be steady you need everything to be going for you. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
The Sombrero Galaxy, M104 in Virgo, that is quite a beautiful object, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
people see the pictures in the Hubble Heritage Image | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
and think, "Wow," but when you look at it it's not quite like that. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
But it's great to see these things for yourselves. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
It doesn't matter the fact that | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
what you're seeing is nothing like the Hubble image, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
actually seeing the real thing is so important. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:35 | |
'The group have gathered outside now, | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
'to look at the magnificent sight of the moon and Venus together. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
'But I want to tick off the Belt Of Venus, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
'which is the shadow of the Earth in space. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
'It's a Moore Marathon object | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
'which so far has eluded me.' | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
To see the Belt Of Venus, | 0:19:52 | 0:19:53 | |
you need it to be clear where the sun's just gone down. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
And you also need it most importantly to be clear | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
towards the east. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:01 | |
Now, unfortunately, it's completely cloudy over there. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
If it wasn't cloudy, what we would see is the Earth's shadow | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
would be below and then we'd see this pink belt | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
blending into the sky above. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
And that pink belt is the Belt Of Venus, | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
and we don't really know why it's called the Belt Of Venus, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
it's got nothing to do with the planet Venus at all. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
But the pink colour is basically back-scattered light | 0:20:24 | 0:20:29 | |
from the setting sun. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
'Well, still no luck with the Belt Of Venus. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
'We'll just have to try again another time. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
'The skies are darkening very nicely, | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
'but the wind is still howling around us. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
'But that's not putting off the observers.' | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
I've ticked a few off with the moon, | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
-Venus and the Mare Crisium, which were all on the list. -Wonderful. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
Any more that you're hoping to aim for as the night goes on | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
and more objects begin to rise? | 0:20:53 | 0:20:55 | |
If we get the telescopes open, I'd like to do M51 | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
if possible, the Whirlpool Galaxy. | 0:20:57 | 0:20:59 | |
Iapetus, the moon Iapetus, around Saturn. | 0:20:59 | 0:21:02 | |
I don't think that's possible personally, actually, | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
-but it's on the list so I'll have a go. -I'd like to see the Sombrero Galaxy, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
I've never seen that. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:09 | |
But we'll have to wait till it's darker obviously. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-Now then, hi, there, Pat and Janet. -BOTH: Hello. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
-Now you got that wonderful image of Venus in the scope there. -Yes. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
Isn't that something? That's absolutely wonderful. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
So what has your Moore Marathon campaign been like? | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
Oh, very interesting. I've found some things I didn't know about. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
-Oh, really? What were they? -The Belt Of Venus, for one. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
And the Cheshire Cat, which I'd not heard of as an asterism. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:37 | |
-Yes, an asterism. -Yes. -And so what are you looking for tonight? | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Any on your list? | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
Well, I've really enjoyed looking at the moon. I love observing the moon | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
and so the craters, the Tycho craters | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
that were on the Marathon, we've seen, | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
and a lovely view tonight. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:53 | |
It's a magnificent view tonight. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
'And there goes the International Space Station, | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
'Moore Marathon number 15. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-There it is just coming out... -Yes. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
..from that cloud, to the left of that hook of cloud. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
Nice clear patch there now. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
This is not a favourable pass so it's only about | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
as bright as Sirius, about mag minus 1.2, something like that. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:15 | |
-But it's on the list. It's on the Moore Marathon. -Yes. -I'd say we've all seen it. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:19 | |
Well, we managed to see some good things tonight. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:22 | |
The wind, though, has been unforgiving, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
so we missed out on the galaxies, I'm afraid. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
'But it's been great fun to share the Moore Marathon quest | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
'with fellow astronomers.' | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
-Yes, you can never tire of the moon. -No. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
Well, Jon, you certainly looked like you were having fun there, | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
and got some clear skies as well, which is no mean feat. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
Some clouds, but enough clarity to work with, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
and they were a great team there, a really great team. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
Excellent. With that determined spirit, let's press on | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
to our telescopic objects. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
My favourite object is bound to be Saturn | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
and frankly you can't see much with the naked eye | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
and not much with binoculars either. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
I can't believe we left it | 0:23:02 | 0:23:03 | |
-this late. This is the Rings of Saturn. -Number 39. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
We managed to get through Saturn and separate out the rings because | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
they are just stunning particularly at the minute | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
when they're tilted about 13 degrees so we can see them well. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
There's a comment from Sarah Dunwood | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
who viewed Saturn with her telescope, a small one, | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
and she says, "It's the first time | 0:23:18 | 0:23:19 | |
"I'd seen the rings through the telescope | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
"and it was a great moment particularly | 0:23:22 | 0:23:24 | |
"as the eyepiece view was so clear." She was so impressed | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
she woke up her husband to tell him about it. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
I hope he enjoyed the view of Saturn's rings as much as she did | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
because that would have been early morning, I imagine. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
A wow moment for both halves of the family there. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
Brilliant. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
Let me whisk you out to the outer universe again. Hold on to your seat, Pete, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
we're out to the Whirlpool Galaxy. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
This is a glorious picture right behind you, M51, | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
but it's actually surprisingly difficult to find, | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
because it's face-on and thus faded out. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
But we had Steve Elliott, | 0:23:55 | 0:23:56 | |
"Surprisingly, given its popularity, I hadn't seen this before." | 0:23:56 | 0:24:00 | |
We had Jeff Stevens saying, | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
"The second observation that captured my attention | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
"was the Whirlpool Galaxy, something I'd tried to observe before but with no success," and he succeeded. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:09 | |
Dave Moulton from North Wales, from Flintshire, said, "Face-on, | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
"perfectly placed, | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
"but you need plenty of aperture to see the details." | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
That's fair enough. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:17 | |
It is. I can just about make out some details on my eight inch telescope. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
-You can see them. -Yes. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:22 | |
Well, reaching number 49, we're into the last mile of this Moore Marathon | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
and we haven't hit the wall and we're not going to as we reach | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
Syrtis Major on Mars. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
What does it look like in a modern telescope? | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
A V-shaped, shaded region on the planet. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
To be perfectly honest, if you use a really low power, | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
you're not going to like this, but to me, it looks like a pair of Y-fronts. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
It does! It has that appearance on the planet. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
So at number 49 then, Syrtis Major, that takes us into the 50s now, | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
and it's Messier 81 and 82, quite magnificent! | 0:24:51 | 0:24:55 | |
Fabulous pair of galaxies. It's just absolutely stunning. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
I rather like Rebecca Taylor's quote, | 0:24:57 | 0:25:00 | |
"Looks like a couple of smudges. Brilliant, two-for-one." | 0:25:00 | 0:25:04 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:25:04 | 0:25:05 | |
The next object, number 52, this is a lovely thing. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
This is a beauty. In order to get the Lagoon Nebula you had to get up | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
at an awful time in the morning | 0:25:14 | 0:25:15 | |
or stay up until the awful time in the morning. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
Martin Campbell from Dungannon in Northern Ireland says, | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
"A tantalising object", which is about right. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
"Rich in colour and complexity." | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
It really is exactly that. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
It's worth looking for if you head south for holidays - | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
keep an eye on the Lagoon Nebula. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:31 | |
Steve Elliott says, "I've seen this from southerly latitudes | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
"many times. Part of the steam coming out of the teapot's spout!" | 0:25:35 | 0:25:39 | |
It's a fine sight as we race for home. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
We're on to the final one. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
-Now push on, we can do this. We can do this. -We're almost there. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
We've now got the crowd cheering us on. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
-But Albireo is the first object I ever saw in a telescope. -Was it? | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
It's at the base of Cygnus, a beautiful double star. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
It was the last object for me | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
in my original 55. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
What colours do you see? Cos there's all these romantic descriptions... | 0:25:59 | 0:26:03 | |
Albireo, primary - golden yellow. Secondary - emerald green. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:08 | |
There's nothing like it. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
There's a great description here from Keith Moore in Doncaster, | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
and he says, "Albireo, the first time I saw it, | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
"was like Saturn all over again." | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
Amazing. I think that's fabulous. I know exactly how he feels. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
Another Moore Marathon observer on the telephone now. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
Sarah Dunwood, you're in Warrington, right? | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
-'That's correct, yes.' -How did you get on with the weather and other factors with the Moore Marathon? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:32 | |
'The weather was absolutely shocking. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
'I think I've managed five nights outside out of the month so far.' | 0:26:35 | 0:26:40 | |
Paul Abel, you can certainly relate to that. | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
I can. Hello, Sarah, how are you doing? Are you all right? | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
-'I'm good thank you.' -I can share your empathy with the weather. I managed to get five objects | 0:26:44 | 0:26:49 | |
out of the whole month. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:50 | |
It was appalling. What were the objects you got? | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
-'I got about 37 of them, I think.' -That's all right. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
That's good. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
'I thought 37 was dreadful, but five really is bad, isn't it?' | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
Thank you for that(!) | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
-'I'm so sorry!' -It's fine. I love being abused on national television! | 0:27:05 | 0:27:10 | |
What was your favourite object out of the lot? | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
'Getting the moon because it's the first time I've imaged it | 0:27:13 | 0:27:18 | |
'through the telescope.' | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
It's Patrick here. Patrick Moore. Do you think we got the mix right? | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
'I do. It was nice to be able to point out some of the | 0:27:24 | 0:27:28 | |
'naked eye objects to my son cos he's only 11 | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
'and bless him, he's a teeny weeny thing | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
'so he doesn't get up to the telescope. He can't reach it.' | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
I know that feeling. | 0:27:36 | 0:27:38 | |
-It's nice to have heard you. -'And you. Thank you, Patrick.' | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
Well, I've enjoyed going through that. I enjoyed observing. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
And we should say congratulations to everyone who took part, | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
but especially to the three people... Sorry, Pete, I'm not including you. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
The three people who saw all 55. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
So that's Lee Osborne in Spain, Steve Elliott in Farnborough | 0:27:54 | 0:27:57 | |
and Wayne Young in Thatcham. | 0:27:57 | 0:27:59 | |
So well done to those three and to everyone. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
Absolute bravo. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
I think everyone who did it learnt something. I most certainly did. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:08 | |
I've been looking at the sky now for very nearly 90 years | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
and still I find things I didn't know, and I found some more tonight. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
So thank you all for your patience, | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
your endurance and your enthusiasm. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:23 | |
And when I come back next month, | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
we'll be talking about the two largest planets in our solar system, | 0:28:25 | 0:28:30 | |
Jupiter and Saturn. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
So until then, good night. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:35 | |
