0:00:27 > 0:00:32Good evening from the South Downs Planetarium outside Chichester.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35You probably know what a planetarium is,
0:00:35 > 0:00:40it's an artificial sky under a dome with a special projector.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42And it'll show you things
0:00:42 > 0:00:44the real sky doesn't often do.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46We can see the sky now...
0:00:48 > 0:00:50..and in the future.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Earlier on this evening, Dr Chris North was here with a school party.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Year three from St John's Catholic Primary School
0:00:59 > 0:01:01are taking a trip into space.
0:01:01 > 0:01:07Fortunately, they can do it all from the comfort of the South Downs Planetarium in Chichester.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Over the past ten years,
0:01:09 > 0:01:14it has entertained several hundred schools and 120,000 visitors.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17At the heart of the planetarium is this magnificent beast,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19the star projector. Its odd shape
0:01:19 > 0:01:23allows it to project 4,500 stars onto the surface of the dome
0:01:23 > 0:01:27as well as the sun, moon and planets. The source of the light
0:01:27 > 0:01:31is dozens of tiny bulbs at the centre of each globe
0:01:31 > 0:01:33and behind each lens is a star plate,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36a piece of metal with holes in exactly the right place
0:01:36 > 0:01:40to put the stars in just the right position on the sky.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44The planetarium is run entirely by volunteers,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46and Dr John Mason is the resident lecturer.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Who wants to go on a journey into space today? Yes!
0:01:52 > 0:01:56The 34-year-old projector requires constant loving attention
0:01:56 > 0:01:59to keep going. But it still has a magical quality
0:01:59 > 0:02:02which entrances audiences old and new.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Time to switch off the lights.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07ALL: Ooh!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Some of the projector's stars are coloured
0:02:10 > 0:02:15and they also try to match the relative brilliance of the real stars.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18As a blanket of darkness enfolds us, John takes us on a journey
0:02:18 > 0:02:21to the planets and stars.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Now, I want you to look straight up. What do you think that is?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29You have to call out, I can't see you now.
0:02:29 > 0:02:30What is it?
0:02:30 > 0:02:31ALL: The moon!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- Pardon?- Moon!
0:02:33 > 0:02:35That better, the moon, yes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Now, tonight, by about ten o'clock,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42that is what the moon will look like.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45But earlier on, before that,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49you may not see the moon at all.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52It's there, it's just it's going to be rather dark
0:02:52 > 0:02:56because tonight, there is going to be an eclipse of the moon.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I have really enjoyed the show, but what did the kids think of it?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03So what was it like being in a planetarium?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- It's really good.- Really cool.- Have you been in a planetarium before?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- No.- No.- It was very dark, wasn't it?
0:03:09 > 0:03:10- Yes.- Yes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Which one is your favourite planet? - My favourite's Pluto.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- Why's that?- Erm, because I like blue
0:03:17 > 0:03:19and I like getting quite cold.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22It's very cold out near Pluto.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Erm, Mars.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Why Mars?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Because...
0:03:26 > 0:03:29it's got, like, lots of rocks and stuff.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- After seeing the wonderful show, do you think you'll go out and see the stars more now?- Yes.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Looking forward to learning about them?- Yes.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Back in the darkened dome, Patrick is joined by Paul Abel
0:03:40 > 0:03:44The arrow in the dome points to the north celestial pole
0:03:44 > 0:03:47around which our sky rotates as the earth spins on its axis.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Currently, the star Polaris is very close to this point,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54but over thousands of years, the celestial pole moves
0:03:54 > 0:03:57as the Earth's axis wobbles.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Time for a bit of time travel.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02So, let's start our journey.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07So you can see now how the star Polaris has now shifted
0:04:07 > 0:04:09a long, way away from the tip of the white arrow,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12coming up 5,000 years in the future,
0:04:12 > 0:04:147,000 AD.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19This is the bright star Deneb, it's the pattern of Cygnus the Swan.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22They go past Deneb here
0:04:22 > 0:04:26in about 8,000 years, so we're about 10,000 AD.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29So we've now gone forwards in time...
0:04:30 > 0:04:34..13,000 years.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36And the bright star Vega
0:04:36 > 0:04:38in Lyra the Lyre
0:04:38 > 0:04:43is now our nearest, bright North Pole star,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45and our winter night sky
0:04:45 > 0:04:48for 15,000 AD
0:04:48 > 0:04:52contains quite a few surprises.
0:04:52 > 0:04:57First of all, the so-called Summer Triangle
0:04:57 > 0:05:02of today is going to be the Winter Triangle
0:05:02 > 0:05:06because with Vega being the North Pole star,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10these familiar three stars of Deneb, Vega and Altair
0:05:10 > 0:05:13are now circumpolar.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17They are there all the time.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19But a big surprise
0:05:19 > 0:05:23is the magnificent pattern of the Scorpion.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Just gives you a feel of how
0:05:25 > 0:05:28we don't have ownership of the skies for ever.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31We know all these wonderful constellations in south will come
0:05:31 > 0:05:34north and the people of that time are going to really have a splendid night sky.
0:05:34 > 0:05:40Unfortunately, we may have gained in our view of the Scorpion,
0:05:40 > 0:05:44and the Sagittarius and the star clouds at the centre of galaxy,
0:05:44 > 0:05:49and parts of the Southern Cross, and Alpha and Beta Centauri,
0:05:49 > 0:05:54but we have lost the most famous winter constellation
0:05:54 > 0:05:57of the present time, Orion the Hunter.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- That's not a fair swap, John. - You don't think it's a fair swap?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- No.- I don't really mind.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I mean, Orion is wonderful, we love it to bits...
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- Can we go even further into the future?- Yes, we can.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13We can go forward another 13,000 years.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Because it takes nearly 26,000 years for the North Celestial Pole
0:06:18 > 0:06:21to complete a circuit of the sky,
0:06:21 > 0:06:27if we go forward from 15,000 AD to 28,000 AD,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31we'll return the North Celestial Pole
0:06:31 > 0:06:35to the star Polaris once again,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37and how the world will have changed by then.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Hopefully there will be people out there amongst some of these stars,
0:06:41 > 0:06:42in which case,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46what will the constellations and stars look like on other planets?
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Well, I'd love to be able to show you that,
0:06:48 > 0:06:54but sadly, that is beyond the scope of our rather elderly Planetarium projector.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57When we first came in I was struck by,
0:06:57 > 0:06:59it does look rather like Sputnik to me!
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It is a very impressive piece of kit,
0:07:01 > 0:07:03how common is that type of projector in the Planetarium today?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07It's one of a diminishing number of its kind in the world.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11I think there are only eight of this particular model left.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Where are they?- Seven of them are in the United States,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15this is the only one that isn't!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17What do you think their secret is?
0:07:17 > 0:07:24The secret is that you are immersed inside what looks like
0:07:24 > 0:07:26the real night sky.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31Now I would hate it to be that in the future that was the only night sky people could see.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36Well, John, we're looking at the sky in 28,000 AD.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39But last month, there was something really special -
0:07:39 > 0:07:42a total eclipse of the moon,
0:07:42 > 0:07:45and The Sky At Night team went down to the beach.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I think I drew the short straw with our inflatable Solar System, guys!
0:07:56 > 0:07:57You chose it!
0:07:57 > 0:08:02We brought our inflatable Solar System down to the beach because we've got a lunar eclipse tonight.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05It's a few hours yet till sunset, which is when it occurs in the UK,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07but we've come to the ideal location.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10We've got a nice, clear eastern and south-eastern horizon,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12which this time is all-important.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13It is indeed, Chris.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16The moon will be totally eclipsed when it rises above
0:08:16 > 0:08:19the south-eastern point on the horizon,
0:08:19 > 0:08:21but as it comes up and the sky's getting darker,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24if we're lucky and the clouds stay away, it should be a fantastic sight.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27So here we are. Chris is the sun,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I shall be the Earth and you can be the moon.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33So we have the light from the sun hits the Earth,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36and casts quite a long shadow into space -
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- it's a cone, isn't it? - It's a cone of shadow,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41which is about almost 900,000 miles long.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43So let's get the shadow on to Pete's manly chest,
0:08:43 > 0:08:44there we are.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Now when the moon lines up with the sun, roughly once a month,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51we actually get a full moon,
0:08:51 > 0:08:54the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth to the sun.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58But for the most part, the moon passes above or below that shadow.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59But tonight that's not going to happen,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02it's actually going to pass into the shadow -
0:09:02 > 0:09:04there's a nice demonstration of it there.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07So the Earth actually has two components to its shadow.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10It's got a lighter outer part, which is called the penumbra,
0:09:10 > 0:09:14and a darker inner part called the umbra, and it's the umbra we're really interested in.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17As the moon moves towards the umbra,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20the umbral shadow will actually pass across the moon's disc,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24so what we'll end up with to begin with is a partial eclipse of the moon.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27The moon will move further and further into the umbra -
0:09:27 > 0:09:30in fact the umbra will completely cover the moon,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- and that gives us a total eclipse of the moon.- Right.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36And it's at this point that the moon will rise, isn't it?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- It will be in complete eclipse.- Just after the mid-point in the eclipse,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42that's when the moon should pop up above the horizon.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Now if we have atmospheric effects coming into play,
0:09:45 > 0:09:47the moon should be a nice, dark coppery colour, shouldn't it?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50It should. The Earth has got an atmosphere,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53and that atmosphere looks like a thin ring, as seen from the moon.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56It does. If you were standing on the lunar surface you would see the Earth
0:09:56 > 0:09:59and a ring of fire surrounding it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01That's right, there are two effects happening.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05First of all the light from the sun is bent as it passes through the atmosphere,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08and that tends to infill the umbral shadow,
0:10:08 > 0:10:12but also, the bluish part of the light gets scattered away,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14so what you're left with is the reddish bit,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18so if you like it's like a ring of sunsets and sunrises -
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- that's a nice way to think of it. - It is, it's quite poetic, Pete!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23And that colour infills as well,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26so you end up with a reddish colour to the surface of the moon
0:10:26 > 0:10:27when it's totally in shadow.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30We've got a couple of hours left yet until the sun sets
0:10:30 > 0:10:33and the moon rises over the nice horizon,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36so while we wait for that we can talk about a few of the astronomical
0:10:36 > 0:10:38news stories from the last couple of months, starting with the sun.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43Well, there's been an amazing event observed on the surface of the sun
0:10:43 > 0:10:46by the SDO, the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Looking at the sun, as it does all the time,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51a flare went off, an M-class flare,
0:10:51 > 0:10:52a medium-power flare.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Now that flare threw off a vast amount of material
0:10:56 > 0:10:58away from the sun's surface.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00What's amazing about this is that this material
0:11:00 > 0:11:02seemed to flow away from the sun
0:11:02 > 0:11:05with the force of the release of energy,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07and then it stopped and lots of it
0:11:07 > 0:11:09actually fell back down to the surface of the sun.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11They pose a real danger, do they?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13They do to the Earth, because what will happen is,
0:11:13 > 0:11:17if one happens to be pointing in our way you get material thrown away from the sun,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and it can impinge on the Earth's magnetic field
0:11:20 > 0:11:25and cause all sorts of disruption to a lot of our electro-magnetic systems.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27So leaving our Solar System behind,
0:11:27 > 0:11:31we had a supernova in that lovely spiral galaxy M51.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Yes, a supernova was discovered in the Whirlpool Galaxy
0:11:34 > 0:11:37and it's quite a brightish star,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39it's in one of the spiral arms,
0:11:39 > 0:11:43it's called SN 2011dh.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- It trips of the tongue! - It trips off the tongue.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50It's quite easy to pick this up with amateur kit,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- if you go out and have a look. - I did manage to catch it,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55but I have to confess it took me over half an hour to find M51 -
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- that's a tragic confession! - But what's amazing about it
0:11:57 > 0:12:00is that this is the third supernova
0:12:00 > 0:12:03to have occurred in M51 over the last 17 years.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Yeah, it's quite an active galaxy.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Finally, coming back into the Solar System and onto Mars,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11and a slightly sadder story - the death of Spirit,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15the plucky Mars rover that's been travelling around the surface since 2004.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20We've put together a little obituary from our journey with Spirit over the past seven years.
0:12:24 > 0:12:31When the NASA Mars rover Spirit landed in 2004, its mission was just three months long.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34But Spirit exceeded that timetable, and much more.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37The mobile geologist kept going for six years,
0:12:37 > 0:12:43and travelled nearly eight kilometres, outlasting many of the NASA team who managed the rovers
0:12:43 > 0:12:48day in, day out. Professor Steve Squyres has been its constant companion,
0:12:48 > 0:12:52watching its every move from hundreds of millions of kilometres away.
0:12:52 > 0:12:59In 2005, he told Chris Lintott why they thought Spirit would only last 90 days.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04The thing we thought was going to kill them
0:13:04 > 0:13:06was dust on the solar arrays.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Mars is a very dusty place, dust is in the atmosphere,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12it settles out of the atmosphere and coats everything.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16And as the dust built up, it went down and down and down and down.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19So it really was getting close to the end.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24And then one glorious day, we got hit by this gust of wind,
0:13:24 > 0:13:27it was just a blast of wind, nothing more than that,
0:13:27 > 0:13:31cleaned off the solar arrays, Spirit was producing more solar power
0:13:31 > 0:13:33than the day we landed.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38The dust devils whipping along the desert were to become a regular feature,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41and a lucky bonus. But Spirit's real adventure did not begin
0:13:41 > 0:13:45until it had trekked from its landing place in Gusev crater
0:13:45 > 0:13:47to the far away Columbia Hills.
0:13:47 > 0:13:54On arrival, it found evidence of water, and went on to make the first ascent of an alien hill.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56The view from the top was spectacular.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Times got tough, and one of its wheels broke,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03and Spirit had to drag it through the Martian dust.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06But that misfortune had an upside for scientists.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09The churned-up soil revealed white deposits of pure silica.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Evidence that Mars once had hot springs or steam vents,
0:14:13 > 0:14:17possibly creating conditions favourable for life.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20But Spirit's days were numbered.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23It was further disabled by another wheel loss,
0:14:23 > 0:14:27and the team were unable to get Spirit into the ideal position
0:14:27 > 0:14:28for winter hibernation.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32In 2010, we caught up with Professor Steve Squyres,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36who told us his feelings about the rover that just wouldn't give up.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40I think the day when it suddenly hits us we've gotten our last transmission
0:14:40 > 0:14:43from the vehicle, that's going to be pretty hard.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46It's had a good, long, productive life,
0:14:46 > 0:14:52and it's achieved so much more than any of us could ever have anticipated or hoped for
0:14:52 > 0:14:56that, if this is the end, it is clearly an honourable death.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Spirit never did awaken from a long, Martian winter,
0:15:01 > 0:15:05and last month, NASA finally closed the chapter on this epic tale.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09But the exploration of Mars still goes on.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14Spirit's sister rover, Opportunity, is going strong on the other side of the planet,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17nearing its destination of Endeavour Crater.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22And later this year, NASA sends its latest Mars rover, Curiosity,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24to the red planet, in search for signs of life.
0:15:24 > 0:15:29The rover is dead, but its spirit lives on.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38The time for the lunar eclipse is fast approaching,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41and astronomers from all over the UK have gathered on Selsey beach,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44including Pete, Paul and Patrick.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Well, here we are, at Selsey,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49and the eclipse has just started.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Unfortunately, we are totally clouded out,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55from horizon to horizon.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00Earlier, there was a little break in the cloud, and we were all hopeful,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02but, as you say, thick, wall-to-wall cloud now.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Well, the moon should be well above the horizon now,
0:16:09 > 0:16:13and there's nothing there, the clouds have got in the way and we can't see anything.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15There are some gaps, so fingers still crossed.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20The gaps in the cloud are stubbornly refusing to arrive.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23But astronomers elsewhere are having better luck.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26The first images look like we may have a rather dark eclipse.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31You know, Pete, I was expecting it to be a rather dark eclipse,
0:16:31 > 0:16:33because of all the organic activity,
0:16:33 > 0:16:38and with those, sometimes you get really lovely colours.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Well, it is reported from other locations where it has been clear
0:16:42 > 0:16:43that it is a really deep red.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45In Europe, they're actually getting
0:16:45 > 0:16:47quite a good view of it at the moment.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49The moon rose earlier for them,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51and there's breaks in the cloud,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54and they've got a beautiful, blood-red moon
0:16:54 > 0:16:55hanging in the night sky.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02A blood-red lunar eclipse really is a wonderful sight,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04one we are just not going to get tonight,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06much to our frustration.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08'We were just about to give up hope
0:17:08 > 0:17:10'when a tantalising gap appeared in the clouds.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15'Tom, Pete and I got a view of the last stages of the lunar eclipse.'
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It's red, it's got a reddish hint to it.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Could be a bit of reddish cloud, sunset-lit cloud.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25But the other issue is the moon will be bright,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28the bit which is being uncovered would be really bright,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31so that light could be reflected off some of the cloud down there.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34We'll have to be vigilant, keep watching that area,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37and see if we can see it, OK?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Here we go. There, that's nice and prominent now.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Can you see it?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- Do you want the laser again?- Yeah.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46No, no, no, there's definitely something there.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I definitely agree there's something there.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- We're seeing the eastern limb. - On that photo, that's so sharp.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Yeah, photo is almost in focus as well.- Not a bit of cloud.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59We're actually getting the benefit now of the fact it's in the partial phase,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01because when it was totally eclipsed,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05cos there's so much cloud down there it was too dim to be seen through.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Well, chaps, we did manage to catch a fleeting glimpse
0:18:12 > 0:18:13just as we thought it was over.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15We'd all but given up hope!
0:18:15 > 0:18:18We've had some pictures from the rest of the country.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20It is quite a dark red one, isn't it?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Possibly the volcanic ash and so on has made it dark red.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26It's a lovely colour, from what we've seen.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- It's not helping though.- No?- No!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Our Flickr site has many more lunar eclipse images
0:18:33 > 0:18:37for you to look at. You can find it by going to our website.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45This was taken by Amirreza Kamkar from Iran,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48with the lunar eclipse moon nestled in the Milky Way.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Or this one, by Frank Ryan,
0:18:50 > 0:18:54showing the lunar eclipse over Barcelona.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56It's also newsletter time.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59You can download our latest newsletter from our webpage,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01or write to us.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Well, sadly we didn't see it, but you can't win 'em all,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16better luck next time.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20When I come back next month, we'll be looking into the asteroid belt,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23and talking about Dawn on Vesta.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26We've got very good pictures already, and more to come.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30So until then, from a totally cloudy Selsey,
0:19:30 > 0:19:31it's good night.
