The Voyager documentary is on BBC Four Thursday evening. Worth catching.

Glad you enjoyed it Fay.  I found it quite humbling with the emotion of those involved who had quite literally given their lives to this project. Incredible news in the link as below recently about the thrusters being fired for the first time in 27 years without a hitch!

I did an article on my Observing evening report for December about Voyager ... what an intriguing vehicle it is. And I have dug up more information on it for the January report ....

By the way, did anybody see the Sky at Night programme about the Star of Bethlehem?? As Spock would say ..... Fascinating.
