Really enjoyed Sunday night's astronomy programmes. The first to be broadcast was Wonders of the Universe. Professor Brian Cox explained entropy and it's role in the arrow of time in a way that we all could understand. Iconic photography and great special effects made this a programme not to miss. If you did miss it, catch it on BBC iPlayer

Followed a little later by the 700th edition of The Sky at Night. This programme has the distinction of being the longest running TV show in the world and Sir Patrick Moore has presented all but one of them himself. Also, he has just celebrated his 88th birthday, so all in all it's quite an achievment. Professor Brian Cox appeared in this too as did Dr Brian May, ex lead guitarist with rock group Queen, now an astrophysicist. Not out yet on BBC iPlayer. Will post a link when it is.
It was also good to see these two show trending at number one worldwide on Twitter !
