Patrick Moore discusses how astronomers' knowledge of Venus had changed and developed following a series of new discoveries by various different space probes.
There is an star, Epsilon Aurigae. We know it is made up of two stars, but we can only see one directly. The companion is invisible, but can be detected by infra-red. It may be the largest star known to science or possibly, a black hole.
During evenings in April three bright planets - Mars, Jupiter and Saturn - are very conspicuous, with Venus still prominent in the east before dawn. Patrick Moore explains how these planets move, sometimes apparently 'looping the loop'.
Specially extended edition reporting from observatories around the world to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the series.
