Default The Sky at Night - "does the Oort Cloud really exist ?"

"The Sky at Night" was informative and entertaining as usual, but I was
a bit disappointed that they didn't live up to the billing in Radio
Times and ask "does the Oort Cloud really exist ?"

I saw it for the first time in ages last night, on BBC4 which doesn't
appear on the SkyTV EPG here so I found by chance, will look out for it
in future and check schedules on the web. I found it most interesting
but then I didn't know anything much about the Oort cloud beforehand.
Some great images too. Is it filmed in PMs study? Would love to know
what all the books are on the shelves :-)

Hi Holly,

Yes, that was Patrick's study in Selsey, West Sussex. It is an amazing
room stuffed full of books and unique interesting objects (including PM
himself - a total one-off character!).

Ian.

I asked someone to video this month's Sky at Night and they forgot. What did
I miss?
