Series 2

Stargazing LIVE (co-produced by The Open University) returned for a second three-night series on BBC Two set to encourage everyone – from the complete beginner to the enthusiastic amateur – to make the most of the night sky.

Professor Brian Cox and Dara O Briain broadcasted from the control room of the Jodrell Bank Observatory, interacting live with the audience and calling on a starry collection of the country’s finest astronomical minds to explore the majestic wonders of the skies above Britain.

As well as asking some of the big questions, there were hints and tips for getting started in stargazing and advice on navigating your way around the skies. Find the answers to your starry questions by checking out some of the amazing resources on this website.

And with scores of Stargazing LIVE events occurring across the UK throughout January, there were some incredible opportunities for making the most of the night sky.
