A monthly guide to our dark skies by Geoff Burt.

Written by Petersphere resident, astronomical expert and amateur astronomer Geoff Burt, every month Shine Radio presents a Sky Watch of our unique dark skies.

Let Shine Radio open up the wonder of Petersfield's night skies for magical star-gazing from your doorstep, in Sky Watch.

November

Find out what the furthest thing you can see in space with the eye is in this month's Sky Watch - but you'll need the help of a winged horse and a princess too.

It's also the month when there are more shooting stars with meteor showers increasing towards the middle of the month.  Definitely worth a look if you get the opportunity.
