ABC’s Stargazing Live returns to our tv screens this week. CSIRO's
Lisa Harvey-Smith is back as a roving reporter, along with series
hosts Professor Brian Cox and Julia Zemiro, and our Parkes Radio
Telescope (a.k.a. The Dish) is also making a live appearance. The
BBC’s Stargazing Live has been a hit in the UK for a number of years,
and last year the show made its successful debut in Australia. The
show is hosted live across three nights from the Australian National
University’s Siding Spring Observatory near Coonabarabran. The first
night’s episode will focus on the Sun, the second night looks at space
exploration, and the final night focuses on the cosmos – the beginning
and end of the Universe. The image above is from last year's show
