BBC Stargazing LIVE

BBC Two’s Stargazing LIVE series, hosted by Professor Brian Cox and Dara O Briain, invites everyone – from the complete beginner to the enthusiastic amateur – to make the most of the night sky. The project not only brings the stars into people’s homes, but also invites the public to attend stargazing events run by the BBC and partners across the UK, as part of a celebration of astronomy. The Stargazing LIVE website contains loads of useful resources including video, audio and written guides and the Starteam have organised a Big Switch Off live event to increase awareness in the Dark Sky initiative.
