only over the uk at the time stated

[carrust]

Enjoyed Stargazing until Johnathan Ross appeared. The progs dumbed-down enough without having that cretin on it!

[wendilla]

Yes that's right Carrust.it's nice to have it all explained in detail that we amateurs can understand.

[joggerjayne]

Will it go overhead, or just across the horizon ?

[wendilla]

Just been out to have a look and the sky is completely clouded over

[carrust]

I'm an amateur stargazer, & I do like things explained, but not over & over again. I like being treated like an adult, not some 13yr old schoolboy!...rant over lol

[wendilla]

overhead . Sometimes I view it from front door and sometimes from the back but it always comes approx same direction

[wendilla]

Carrust see your point but it does help the younger children to undestand it better.My grandson is only 7 and he has been watching the SS for awhile now and also watches this programme with interest

[joggerjayne]

I might pop down to the seafront.

[wendilla]

Also his teacher is amazed at what he tells them and most of his friends didnt even know they could see the SS and that goes for a lot of people on here too that never knew they could see it at times.

[wendilla]

Where are you Jayne I bet you will get a super view from there
