A monthly guide to our dark skies by Geoff Burt
Written by Petersphere resident, astronomical expert and amateur astronomer Geoff Burt, and voiced by Claire Vennis, 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.
April
The ‘Petersphere’ is part of an International Dark Sky Reserve inside a National Park, so our location couldn’t be much better for stargazing! The question is, how do you make the most of your observations?
Listen to this month’s Sky Watch to find out how.
You’ll also discover how the stars help decide when Easter falls.
