The live elements are being broadcast from Jodrell Bank too – with Brian Cox being the anchor.It will get a lot of media coverage, i’m sure, so should be used as an opportunity to spread the word to the general public. Many local societies are organising events to coincide (though at horribly short notice) so if it gets more people interested in astronomy and science it must be a good thing.Maybe BAA members will take their telescopes out onto the pavements or invite their neighbours round to see things ‘for real’. Would be nice to think so.Sadly, though, i will be in Florida (working) that week…Callum
