Episode 9: Clouds
Manage episode 356955513 series 3442380
It's a cloudy night in Oxford but that doesn't stop Chris and Mr Max from getting out. Find out who the unluckiest astronomer is, and why even the Hubble Space Telescope needs to worry about the weather sometimes, while haring around the neighbourhood at speed. Also, do go out and find Venus and Jupiter in the next couple of days - they're spectacular right now.
