I have a certain fascination with space and astronomy so it was with some anticipation that I started watching the BBC programmes this week. I'm really glad I did. The series, short though it was, contained plenty of interesting learning and no small measure of entertainment.
The combination of Dara O'Brien and Professor Brian Cox make the show what it is with their combination of informed humour and passion for the subject but the highlight for me was one of their guests. Carolyn Porco was passionate, informative and humourous all at the same time and it was infectious. She made you feel passionate too and that set me thinking about what makes a good teacher so watch out for a blog post about that because it has a resonance with what I'm involved with at work.
If you have the slightest interest in anything space related, if you didn't see it and can find it on iPlayer, I'd recommend watching it.
recorded and watched it last night. Agree very good programme. Mind blowing the distances and time they talked about. Also the Northern Lights were incredible.
