Stargazing LIVE interaction using Twitter

Something from my OU mailbox that mey be of interest to Physics pupils and teachers:-

Stargazing LIVE: Get involved

Stargazing LIVE returns for a second series on 16th, 17th and 18th January and this time, it’s an OU / BBC co-production with OU academics from the Department of Physical Sciences involved. Broadcasting live from the control room of the Jodrell Bank radio observatory in Cheshire, the show will be presented by Professor Brian Cox and Dara O Briain with Liz Bonnin reporting from South Africa.

As the show airs, you can get involved on Twitter if you have an account by tweeting using the #bbcstargazing hashtag. Also visit OpenLearn at http://www.open.edu/openlearn/stargazing and enjoy a series of interactives including the Virtual Planisphere which allows you to track the night skies throughout the year and the Virtual Microscope which gives you the chance to examine moon rocks and meteorites up close.
