Stargazing LIVE
This month ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Two turns off a town's lights (live on air) to showcase the wonders of the UK night sky.
Over the course of the three nights, the Stargazing LIVE team will be switching off lights across the country (at venues including the Eden Project) to demonstrate just how magical UK landmarks can look when light pollution is removed.
Following the series, school children across the country will get the chance to put their astronomy questions directly to one of the nation's favourite science teachers, Professor Brian Cox.
At 2pm on Thursday 19th January Professor Cox will present a live, interactive lesson from Jodrell Bank in collaboration with The Big Bang Fair.
All UK schools can join in via the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Red Button or on the website.

1900-2100 Scrum V: Ireland U20 v Wales U20 with audio options
Then normal league continues on 10th Feb, hope that helps.
Red Button staff... ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ2 Wales normally screen the Snooker Welsh Open in February - please can you confirm if ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Red Button can show the coverage this year? And please please please can you screen it this year on Freeview - last year with all of the F1 coverage we only got to see one semi final, and Freeview viewers didn't get to see the final, etc :-(
Also, as an idea for the Snooker World Champs in April - using ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ archive, how about screening a classic episode of Pot Black each night after the main snooker has finished? I think this would be a great idea - and it wouldn't cost much to show! Please consider!
