Just noticed in the weekend tv guide :- Sunday 27/1/13, SBS 1, 8:30pm
Seeing Stars, documentary on a new breed of astronomers pushing the limits of science and technology.
Hope it's good.

Ditto!

An excellent documentary I thought. One of the best I have seen for a little while. The name doesn't quite do it justice I don't think.

A very interesting documentary

Thanks Jeff

Thanks Jeff :thumbsup:,

It was an interesting documentary and I agree with rogerg , the name really doesn't do it justice.

I appreciate how it was not sensationilsed like many other astronomy programs.

The only thing that always bugs me with BBC documentaries is how they still cling to those imperial units while the rest of the world has adopted the metric system. I always end up doing the conversion in my head as I am watching.

Anyways it was defiantely worth seeing.

Poor reception meant there was no SBS for us last night.

Here is the link for others who missed it:

I was impressed with the piece about the James Webb telescope.

I agree with what they said about it, that when it's operational it will probably discover things we don't even know about.

Don't you mean "if it is ever operational"? The cost overruns and decreasing budgets mean it could be cancelled.
