Noticed it last night driving up the M7. It is extra bright and extra red right now.

It’s brighter and redder than it will be for years apparently. Uranus is closer than it will be for hundreds of years too.
What’s Leo Enright up to these days?
He hardly gets a look in I’d say. RTÉ has no time for filler news like space rockets and extraterrestrials anymore since they went 24/7 on case number analysis and Government vs NPHET spats.
I thought it was in the East?
Yes you are correct
Very bright the last week alright. I must buy a telescope, I love looking up at the stars.I could look at them for hours.

Keep an eye out for The Planets show on RTÉ tomorrow folks - been a couple of very good episodes so far. No harm to watch something with an agenda other than analysing the daily coronavirus case figures.

It’s superb. Jupiter tonight I think. As an aside I was watching him a while ago explaining space time, savage stuff.
Watched a documentary thing recently called Cosmos made in 2014, originally made in 1980. It’s unreal. Neil DeGrasse Tyson

He’s very good. You’d like star talk, you’d get it on newstalk podcasts it’s excellent, bit of banter in it too he’s a legend.

The original series was presented by Carl Sagan and is even better imo. All up on YouTube I think.
A sampler - the evolution of humans.

Watching the planets here on rte player, ep3 Jupiter. Outstanding. A must for all universe/stars related nerds. Jupiter had some say in the formation of the inner planets, which in relation to their star are outliers.
