Stargazing goes Live in Wales

Stargazing: Amateur astronomers using a small telescope connected to a laptop.

The return of “Stargazing LIVE” to BBC2 this week means that astronomy fever is once again gripping the UK. You can join members of the School of Physics and Astronomy at a number of free astronomy events over the next few days and weeks.

You be able to talk to researchers and find out about what the latest news is in the world of astronomy, as well as find out what to look at in the night sky.
