“Get yourself to an eclipse. It’s the best our planet offers.” - chrislintott


Two clear nights in a row, so here is tonight’s look at Messier 106 with the Unistellar #eVscope 🔭. But if you want to know why it’s a “seafood galaxy”, you’ll have to watch Dr Becky Smethurst’s Deep Sky Videos video! (youtu.be/8aWNe3eehmk)






Due to unforeseen circumstances, Dr. Becky Smethurst, Dr Becky Smethurst, is unable to give this evening’s public talk. We’re very grateful to be having Prof. Shane Larson, Shane L. Larson, to give his talk “MONSTERS IN THE COSMIC SEA: Black Hole Tales from the Edge of Space and Time”.


Obsessed with black holes? ⚫ You'll love the latest episode of The Supermassive Podcast from the Royal Astronomical Society. In it, Izzie Clarke ⚡, Dr Becky Smethurst and Robert Massey answer an eclectic mix of listener questions about the mysterious cosmic objects, including one about a dog... 🤔


Hard to believe it’s a decade since European Space Agency’s ESA Rosetta Mission arrived at its comet. The trilogy of films we made for #skyatnight are my favourite - amazing access to a team who trusted us, & a very hard working BBC team who finished the show about an hour before broadcast.





Tonight's #skyatnight is a great one - the Milky Way's secrets, some Cornish archeology and the wonderful Alice Gorman. As ever, if you care about good science on the BBC you need to watch it. Tune in at 22.15 or catch us on iPlayer.
