Summer officially arrives this month and June is famous for the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year when the 'Petersphere' receives over 16 hours of daylight! 

This June however, Sky Watch is focussing on the Moon rather than the Sun. Listen to this month's Sky Watch to discover more.

Summer has passed in the 'Petersphere', but the consolation is that the new stargazing season begins!

Look out for the Harvest Moon on the 17th/18th, a few days before the Autumn Equinox on the 22nd. This will be the second in a sequence of 4 Supermoons this year.

This month also sees a partial lunar eclipse when the Moon glides through the Earth's outer shadow. It's an exciting time for stargazing in our international dark sky reserve area.

It's shooting star season in the Petersphere and from mid-July until the third week of August you can view the best meteor shower of the year. 

Also later in the month, look out for the first Supermoon, in a sequence of 4 this year. This Supermoon will also be a seasonal Blue Moon, which occurs every 2-3 years.

Astronomical twilight overlaps in the Petersphere this time of year so there's no true night and with the Summer Solstice taking place on June 20th we will bask in more than sixteen and a half hours of daylight!

We find out about the 13th sign of zodiac in this month's Sky Watch and how to view noctilucent clouds too.

With the sun currently nearing the height of its 11-year activity cycle we're far enough north to get the auroras when the solar activity is high.  This year we could be getting noctilucent clouds and auroras at once!

Welcome to Shine Sky Watch, a monthly summary of night sky events for stargazers in and around Petersfield.

This time of year, nights in the Petersphere are distinctly shorter than the days and, officially, night only lasts for about 2 hours.

May is the best time to find the second largest constellation in the sky. Find out about Virgo the Maiden and Spica, the brightest star in Virgo, whose light began its vast journey through the cosmos to your eye at around the time that the United States claimed independence!

The Moon reaches Full phase on the 23rd, traditionally called in the northern hemisphere the 'Flower Moon’, and we look out for ethereal Noctilucent Clouds this month – Sky Watch will show you how.

Spring has sprung in the Petersphere and all around is a profusion of radiant blooms and blossoms. The nights are distinctly shorter for stargazing, but at least the skies are clearer and the temperature comfortable!

This month Sky Watch takes a look at the Sun, the planets Jupiter and the celestial sign of Spring in the Petersphere, the constellation of Leo the Lion.

April is also the ideal time in our area to study the largest constellation in the entire sky. Tune in to this month's Sky Watch to find out what it is.

Welcome to the first anniversary of 'Sky Watch'! This March, Sky Watch celebrates one year on air; a complete orbit of the Sun of some 940 million kilometres!

March has always been an important month. Here in the 'Petersphere', we escape the cold gloomy clutches of Winter and welcome the onset of Spring. The Spring Equinox is the first of two occasions every year when all parts of our planet get approximately equal day and night, but have you heard of the Equinox's close relative the Equilux?

This month Sky Watch explains the small, but important, difference.

"Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November; all the rest have thirty-one,

Excepting February alone, and that has twenty-eight days clear,

And twenty-nine in each leap year."

February has always been a bit of an oddity. Why is it shorter than all the other months; and why does it sometimes have a leap day as it does now in 2024? Listen to the latest Sky Watch to find out why and more...

The Winter Solstice, otherwise known as the Shortest Day, occurs on December the 22nd. On that day, the 'Petersphere' will receive barely eight hours of daylight. From there the days start getting longer again and the festive season will be upon us, leading to a famous seasonal stargazing story. Yes, everyone's heard of the Christmas Star, but there's a mystery about it that's never been solved...

November

Find out what the furthest thing you can see in space with the eye is in this month's Sky Watch - but you'll need the help of a winged horse and a princess too.

Autumn has arrived in the Petersphere - don't forget that the clocks go back at the end of the month - and although summer has slipped away and winter approaches, it means we're entering into the new observing season! 

Look out for the lunar eclipse on October 28th when the Hunter Moon will slowly glide through the outer region of Earth's shadow and turn red, it will also look suitably spooky for Halloween too and there are more shooting stars this month as well.

Welcome to Shine Radio Sky Watch, a monthly summary of night sky events for stargazers in and around Petersfield.

Our town and surrounding area has the distinction of being located in the South Downs National Park which is designated an International Dark Sky Reserve. That means we don't have far to go to enjoy the wonders of the night sky and there's always something of interest coming up every month. 'Sky Watch' shows you when and where to look!

During May the nights are distinctly shorter in our part of the world. The Sun sets around 9pm and rises again before 6am. You'll need to either be out late or very early to observe the night sky, but at least the conditions are warmer and less cloudy than previous months!

This year, on May 6th, is uniquely distinguished by the coronation of King Charles the 3rd.  So what better opportunity to take a look at the constellation of the Northern Crown and the star dubbed Charles' Heart? Here's how to find them...

Hello, Happy New Year, and welcome to 'Sky Watch' for January!

We're accustomed to embarking on a new voyage around our local star every January, but it hasn't always been that way. Based on ecclesiastical tradition, the ‘Petersphere’ year began on the 25th of March for centuries, right up until 1752, before finally changing to the 1st of January!

The Winter night sky offers some of the best observations of the year. Listen to this month's Sky Watch to discover why.

With another orbit of the Sun nearly complete, we reach the Winter Solstice on the 21st of the month.

The shortest day, the longest night, yet with the promise that Spring and Summer are on their way.

Meanwhile, when we get some high pressure at this time of year, the skies can be crystal clear if a little chilly.

So, keep a weather eye out and, whenever we get one of those glorious transparent Winter nights, wrap up warm, have a hot drink handy and head outside!

Can you name a famous event that happened during the reign of King James the First?

There is one event that everyone has heard of, and it happened in November. "Remember, remember, the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason, and plot!"

August is a great month for stargazing in the ‘Petersphere’! We’re still in Summer, yet the nights have drawn out enough to allow properly dark skies between twilights. Temperatures are comfy overnight, unlike the chill of Winter, and we have a superb shooting star display coming up!

The movable celebration of Easter is on Sunday the 5th of April this year. According to ecclesiastical tradition, Easter Day falls on the Sunday after the first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox.

The Equinox was on the 20th of March, after which the Moon reaches Full phase on Thursday the 2nd of April. Thus, Easter Sunday is on the 5th, a full fortnight earlier than last year!

Welcome to our 3rd anniversary ‘Sky Watch’ episode!

We’re incredibly fortunate to be within one of the best stargazing areas in this part of the planet! The south of England boasts a number of areas that are ideal for stargazing.

The 'Petersphere' is more or less in the midst of this astronomically blessed region. Our town is inside a Dark Sky Reserve inside a National Park. Not only that, but our part of the world includes two planetariums, one in Winchester, one in Chichester, and an observatory halfway between.

What better place for stargazing - and of course 'Sky Watch' brings you the latest highlights every month.

This month, look to the Petersphere skies to see the lovely Pleiades star cluster, the most famous in the whole night sky. Known in folklore as the ‘Seven Sisters,’ the Pleiades were of great significance to ancient civilisations and prehistoric cultures across the world. The Pleiades are part of the constellation of Taurus the Bull, ideally placed for observation from the Petersphere in November.

Bonfire Night on the 5th will be illuminated by another ‘Supermoon’, the second in a sequence of three this Autumn. Our nearest neighbour in space won’t really look any bigger but will be significantly brighter to illuminate any firework displays!
