Episode Synopsis

Recovering. Last month, we had the BBC here at Jodrell Bank for the filming of the annual Stagazing Live specials. We were lucky enough to get backstage access, leading to some fantastic interviews with those involved in the show and in The Zooniverse's new citizen science project Pulsar Hunters. In the show this time, we talk to Sally Cooper about her role as Pulsar Hunter during BBC Stargazing Live [11:03.863 - 26:25.420], Dr Brooke Simmons about Pulsar Zoo and her role behind the scenes of the public's search for new pulsars [28:26.288 - 46:45.977], Dr Matt Taylor, Rosetta's project lead, about the current status of the mission [47:30.176 - 1:19:28.576] and Professor Lucie Green about the Sun's magnetosphere [1:20:18.010 - 1:40:09.531]. Ian rounds up the latest news [1:53.675 - 09:54.186] and we find out what we can see in the February night sky from Ian Morison and Haritina Mogosanu [1:40:17.012 - 2:15:38.065].
