A monthly guide to our dark skies by Geoff Burt
Written by Petersphere resident, astronomical expert and amateur astronomer Geoff Burt, every month Shine Radio presents a Sky Watch of our unique dark skies.
Let Shine Radio open up the wonder of Petersfield’s night skies for magical star-gazing from your doorstep, in Sky Watch.
November
Find out what the furthest thing you can see in space with the eye is in this month’s Sky Watch – but you’ll need the help of a winged horse and a princess too.
It’s also the month when there are more shooting stars with meteor showers increasing towards the middle of the month. Definitely worth a look if you get the opportunity.
Find out more in this month’s Sky Watch.
