The popular astronomy show presented by Brian Cox and comedian Dara O'Briain will run on BBC Two from January 8 to January 10. As before, the programmes will be broadcast live from the Observatory Control Room and the Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre. Every year Stargazing Live attracts millions of viewers, from amateur astronomers to complete novices. This year audiences will get the chance to learn more about the search for life on Mars including an opportunity for viewers to explore an uncharted area of the red planet from the comfort of their own homes. Brian and Dara will show how we can see the history of the Universe by looking up at the night sky. The programme will also highlight the asteroids and comets which will be visible during 2013 and discuss dangers the Earth faces as it hurtles through space. Viewers will be able to pose questions to Brian, Dara and their special guests during Stargazing Live and the Back to Earth half-hour discussion programmes broadcast after each episode.
