Has anyone seen Brian Cox?


Astronomy might not be quite the new rock and roll, but it's become more popular than it ever was when I was a child. I remember the first time I managed to point my 60x telescope at Saturn and clearly see the rings, it was mind blowing!

This commission came from the BBC, and was to record an event at Charlton House near Greenwich in London. The public were invited to explore the universe through displays and talks by experts from the Science Museum and the Greenwich Royal Observatory, and talk to keen amateur astronomers who'd brought along their telescopes for a grand show and tell.

There was great enthusiasm, interesting science but sadly, no stars. Not even Brian Cox! More pictures.
