    8 pm The Sky at Night

    9 pm Hubble Telescope Repeat of 2005 show marking 15 years of the telescope

    10 pm Storyville: Blast! Documentary which follows the story of Mark Devlin and his team of scientists as they try to figure out how all the galaxies formed by launching a revolutionary new telescope under a NASA high-altitude balloon.

    Their adventure takes them from Arctic Sweden to Inuit Canada, where failure forces the team to try again on the desolate ice of Antarctica. The obsessions, personal and family sacrifices, and philosophical and religious questioning of a professional scientist are all laid bare.

    Great night's viewing in all,
    as well as sky at night, Patrick Moore appeared in the program about amateur astronomers, can never get enough of him and I often think how lucky we are to have such a man who dedicated most of his life to this wonderful interest. Hope he lives to 120.
    Makes we wonder though, who might pick up the gauntlet after his time?
    Perhaps his young apprentice?
    But he would need to develop some severe eccentricities to get the job :)
