>The Sky at Night – #566

>

Don’t know who Paul Baumann is (I’ve researched and can’t find an astronomical link anywhere), but they’ve gone and named the observatory on the hill above Klein-Winternheim after him.

The local group of stargazers meet up there every Thursday night before full moon, roll back the roof and gaze vertically.

They might even get pictures as good as mine……

 The title of the post is undoubtedly a copyright transgression

The real “Sky at Night” is an astronomy programme that’s been running for over 50 years with the same host, Patrick Moore.

Absolutely cult stuff – this wild-eyed poshly spoken scientist who gabbles his way through his lines and at the same time makes all the complicated stuff so simple.

Like broadcasting from the beach submerged in the sea with collar and tie to explain the force of the tides.
