We held 2 events this year for BBC Stargazing Live. The first was on Monday 16th January, and was an evening event at the University Campus. The Mobile Planetarium did 6-30 min shows throughout the evening and members of the general public signed up on the night to see a show.

At this evening event there was also access to the observatories on the roof, and astrosoc's telescopes. There was also Astrophotography Tutorials,' Ask an Astronomer', Lectures on 'Black holes' and 'The extinction of the dinosaurs' from Astronomy Professors. There was also a TV showing the BBC live show, Word Wide Telescope tutorials and various Stargazing Live activities for small children.

This event was a great success and over 280 people attended on campus.

The second event was held at the Southampton City Art Gallery on Saturday 21st January. The mobile planetarium did 9-30 min shows and again there was stargazing activities on a table outside the dome for budding young physcists such as colouring in planets and making constellations.

This event was also a great success and over 290 members of the general public got to see a planetarium show and learn about the stars and constellations.
