yeah we've had a couple of wipe outs when we've tried it before but tonight I think we got lucky

 

satellites

bats

moths

aircraft

 

but some really good shooting stars too, everybody got to see a few

 

I guess that whilst I'm in a town, it's not a big town, plus about half of our sky is out over the water so less light pollution. Hadn't thought of it that much before.

On another note there was a good Horizon episode on iPlayer recently about planning a manned mission to Mars. Fascinating stuff, with one major problem being how to get back home, and even if they found a way they'd have to live there for a year in any case.

 

Found it Youtube

I was watching something the other day about Neutron stars.  The last time 2 of them collided,  the resulting energy released was so powerful it shook the whole universe and was detected here on earth.  

I successfully re-created this phenomena here on earth 5 minutes ago by trying to get some digestives but instead dropping the metal biscuit tin lid on a tile floor when my Mrs. was on the phone.
