1 00:00:35,694 --> 00:00:38,075 CLAIRE HICKINBOTHAM: Hello and welcome to Nature Fix with me 2 00:00:38,275 --> 00:00:41,896 Claire Hickenbotham. Each month we take you with us to meet the 3 00:00:41,916 --> 00:00:45,338 people whose lives have been changed by the outdoors and join 4 00:00:45,339 --> 00:00:49,139 them in a place that most inspires them. Today we're 5 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,841 joining astronomer and adventure lover Nazanin Jahanshahi in the 6 00:00:53,861 --> 00:00:54,862 middle of Manchester. 7 00:00:56,302 --> 00:00:59,464 Naz shows us how the City centre might look an unlikely place for 8 00:00:59,465 --> 00:01:03,475 a celestial tour. But look up and you'll be amazed at what you 9 00:01:03,495 --> 00:01:07,140 might see. And this winter's evening, we're in for a treat. 10 00:01:07,621 --> 00:01:11,366 We're looking at stars, a rare planetary parade, and getting 11 00:01:11,426 --> 00:01:15,111 tips on hunting for the Northern Lights. So let's wrap up warm 12 00:01:15,471 --> 00:01:18,696 for an awe-inspiring city stargazing voyage. 13 00:01:26,136 --> 00:01:27,557 NAZANIN JAHANSHAHI: We're actually in Manchester city 14 00:01:27,637 --> 00:01:32,060 centre right now and there is a lot of traffic, lots of people, 15 00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:36,363 lots of light pollution which would seem like a pretty unusual 16 00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:40,526 place to talk about the night sky but I think there's a lot up 17 00:01:40,566 --> 00:01:43,608 there that people can still see so we're gonna go for a little 18 00:01:43,609 --> 00:01:44,709 walk and see what we can see. 19 00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:50,293 I'm Naz, my love of the skies kind of began when I was around 20 00:01:50,353 --> 00:01:53,655 seven years old. My granddad used to ask me to point out the 21 00:01:53,675 --> 00:01:58,329 moon in the sky. Then when it came to high school and actually 22 00:01:58,609 --> 00:02:03,091 studying, you know, sciences, physics ended up being my 23 00:02:03,131 --> 00:02:07,113 favourite subject and when it came to studying something at 24 00:02:07,133 --> 00:02:09,294 university I chose physics with astrophysics. 25 00:02:10,215 --> 00:02:14,457 I've gone on to work at Kielder Observatory, other hobbies have 26 00:02:14,497 --> 00:02:19,339 come into that now so I'm a climber, we love to go 27 00:02:19,619 --> 00:02:20,479 everywhere in the country. 28 00:02:22,060 --> 00:02:25,702 I'm still very much an outdoorsy person. I spend a lot of time 29 00:02:25,882 --> 00:02:31,065 outside but I still do try and find time to look up and look at 30 00:02:31,066 --> 00:02:35,888 the skies. Even on my journey to and from work I will always be 31 00:02:35,948 --> 00:02:39,610 looking up. It's not always the the safest thing to do as I do 32 00:02:39,690 --> 00:02:44,273 ride a motorbike and yeah all of that has come into it but that's 33 00:02:44,313 --> 00:02:44,893 essentially me. 34 00:02:47,115 --> 00:02:51,373 This is Deansgate around rush hour. The skies are just 35 00:02:51,693 --> 00:02:53,294 starting to get completely darken. 36 00:02:55,255 --> 00:02:59,777 So we've ventured off the main road and we're just walking 37 00:03:00,038 --> 00:03:01,378 through Castlefield. 38 00:03:02,839 --> 00:03:05,421 There's still lots and lots of lights around, but there's just 39 00:03:05,461 --> 00:03:08,802 a little quiet area. There's no lights directly above us and 40 00:03:08,803 --> 00:03:10,663 that's allowed us to see a little bit more of the sky. 41 00:03:13,585 --> 00:03:16,106 CLAIRE HICKINBOTHAM: Anyone can enjoy the stars just by looking 42 00:03:16,146 --> 00:03:20,184 up on a clear night. And on this particular evening there's a lot 43 00:03:20,244 --> 00:03:24,367 to see up in space. But if you want to understand more about 44 00:03:24,387 --> 00:03:27,949 what you're looking at, Naz says there are some great books or 45 00:03:28,109 --> 00:03:29,650 apps to get you started. 46 00:03:32,812 --> 00:03:34,654 NAZANIN JAHANSHAHI: The most commonly used app is called 47 00:03:34,794 --> 00:03:39,477 Stellarium and it's free and it's got all of the information 48 00:03:39,478 --> 00:03:42,238 you could possibly need about the night sky. So it's one of 49 00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:44,800 the best tools that you can take out with you for the first time. 50 00:03:46,032 --> 00:03:50,016 We are looking at an incredibly clear winter night at the 51 00:03:50,036 --> 00:03:52,638 moment, and it's still darkening a little bit. 52 00:03:52,758 --> 00:03:55,961 It's just past sort of six o'clock, so we're still waiting 53 00:03:55,981 --> 00:03:59,424 for the skies to get completely dark, but the brightest objects 54 00:03:59,464 --> 00:04:02,807 have at this point kind of revealed themselves. Looking at 55 00:04:02,808 --> 00:04:06,210 the sky in, like I say, Manchester city centre, the 56 00:04:06,230 --> 00:04:09,493 brightest objects that we can actually see after the sun and 57 00:04:09,494 --> 00:04:12,776 the moon are the planets, when they are in the sky. 58 00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:16,382 And at the moment we do have the planetary parade going on. 59 00:04:17,062 --> 00:04:20,104 Immediately after sunset we do have quite a few of the planets 60 00:04:20,124 --> 00:04:24,707 in the sky and the brightest of those is Venus. After the sun 61 00:04:24,708 --> 00:04:30,470 and the moon Venus is the brightest object in the sky so I 62 00:04:30,471 --> 00:04:34,012 can see that that is not twinkling, it's not moving and 63 00:04:34,013 --> 00:04:35,113 there are no flashing lights. 64 00:04:35,553 --> 00:04:37,974 So I'm definitely looking at a planet and that is the planet 65 00:04:38,075 --> 00:04:42,819 Venus. Interesting fact about Venus is that it is incredibly 66 00:04:42,899 --> 00:04:47,024 close to our planet in terms of size. Some people think of it as 67 00:04:47,164 --> 00:04:51,810 our sister planet, but it is very different in composition. 68 00:04:52,371 --> 00:04:55,755 The atmosphere of Venus is incredibly toxic. 69 00:04:55,835 --> 00:05:00,568 It has sulfur in its atmosphere, lots of cloud. It's very, very 70 00:05:00,689 --> 00:05:03,731 hot, it's actually the hottest planet in our solar system. Even 71 00:05:03,771 --> 00:05:06,774 though it isn't the closest planet to the sun, it is the 72 00:05:06,814 --> 00:05:10,497 hottest because of that cloudy atmosphere that traps all of 73 00:05:10,517 --> 00:05:14,741 that heat. So, not necessarily a planet that we would ever really 74 00:05:14,781 --> 00:05:16,583 want to spend a lot of time on. 75 00:05:18,545 --> 00:05:22,388 Moving over towards the sort of darker part of the night sky 76 00:05:22,448 --> 00:05:27,036 away from the sunset, we can see another bright object. And that 77 00:05:27,076 --> 00:05:29,879 bright object is the planet Jupiter, the biggest planet in 78 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:30,740 our solar system. 79 00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:35,223 It's absolutely massive so even though it is on the other side 80 00:05:35,224 --> 00:05:38,927 of the asteroid belt it is incredibly far away from us. It 81 00:05:38,967 --> 00:05:42,970 is still very very bright in the night sky. It is a gas giant 82 00:05:43,030 --> 00:05:49,336 planet so it is mainly composed of gas and that gas is whipping 83 00:05:49,376 --> 00:05:51,958 around the planet at incredibly high speeds. 84 00:05:53,019 --> 00:05:57,182 One feature that can be spotted on Jupiter if you have a very 85 00:05:57,242 --> 00:06:01,264 very good telescope and if you are in darker skies, better 86 00:06:01,304 --> 00:06:04,606 conditions, you can see Jupiter's great red spot which 87 00:06:04,626 --> 00:06:07,807 is essentially a massive storm kind of like a tornado or a 88 00:06:07,847 --> 00:06:11,469 hurricane happening on Jupiter that is just swirling around and 89 00:06:11,470 --> 00:06:14,571 it creates this red spot within that gas that's spinning around 90 00:06:14,572 --> 00:06:18,213 the planet that has changed shape and changed size 91 00:06:18,233 --> 00:06:20,814 throughout our lifetimes and it's really interesting watching 92 00:06:20,854 --> 00:06:23,156 it evolve and we can learn lots about what's going on on that 93 00:06:23,196 --> 00:06:23,636 planet. 94 00:06:24,344 --> 00:06:27,806 But that great red spot is about two or three times the size of 95 00:06:27,807 --> 00:06:30,147 our planet. It is absolutely huge. 96 00:06:31,868 --> 00:06:36,191 The next bright object that we can see is the planet Mars. And 97 00:06:36,831 --> 00:06:40,533 you can very evidently, again, in the centre of Manchester, 98 00:06:40,613 --> 00:06:43,675 with all of this light pollution around, you can still see the 99 00:06:43,835 --> 00:06:49,278 orange colour in that planet. So Mars has its red colour because 100 00:06:49,438 --> 00:06:51,799 of the iron that exists on the surface. 101 00:06:52,179 --> 00:06:56,821 So a lot of people call it the red planet and people aren't 102 00:06:56,861 --> 00:06:59,863 always sure what that red colour comes from. There's a lot of 103 00:07:00,063 --> 00:07:04,525 iron on that planet and it has oxidised so it essentially is 104 00:07:04,885 --> 00:07:08,326 covered with rust so it's very bright in the sky, it's very 105 00:07:08,466 --> 00:07:14,389 orange. We have rovers on Mars we've sent missions to Mars to 106 00:07:14,489 --> 00:07:19,090 bring back martian soil so we are learning lots about Mars and 107 00:07:19,511 --> 00:07:24,160 we perhaps might see people on Mars within our lifetimes. 108 00:07:26,322 --> 00:07:29,083 So we're going to move on from this location. We're going to 109 00:07:29,223 --> 00:07:32,885 move on to Castlefield Bowl which is a sort of a hot spot 110 00:07:32,925 --> 00:07:35,987 that people go and sit around. But we're going to continue 111 00:07:36,007 --> 00:07:38,168 looking up at the sky and see what we can see. 112 00:07:41,610 --> 00:07:45,612 We're currently walking past Castlefield Viaduct. I think 113 00:07:45,712 --> 00:07:48,894 Manchester in general does have quite a lot of really lovely 114 00:07:48,954 --> 00:07:53,176 viaducts and they really add to the sort of infrastructure of 115 00:07:53,177 --> 00:07:56,138 the whole place and keeps it at its roots I think. 116 00:07:58,299 --> 00:08:01,940 When I want to get away from the light pollution and I really 117 00:08:01,980 --> 00:08:04,961 want to do some serious observing whether it's with a 118 00:08:05,081 --> 00:08:09,943 telescope or a pair of binoculars or simply if there is 119 00:08:09,944 --> 00:08:13,265 a meteor shower happening and I want to be somewhere dark so I 120 00:08:13,285 --> 00:08:16,546 could catch even the the smallest of shooting stars 121 00:08:16,606 --> 00:08:22,061 facing across the sky, I will venture further out and my go-to 122 00:08:22,121 --> 00:08:24,803 place around Manchester is the Peak District. 123 00:08:25,163 --> 00:08:30,027 There's lots and lots of areas that you can go to and there's 124 00:08:30,227 --> 00:08:34,131 plenty of resources that we can use as well to discover the 125 00:08:34,151 --> 00:08:37,634 darker skies a little bit closer to us. So if you go onto Google 126 00:08:37,635 --> 00:08:41,797 and you type in dark sky maps, the sky darkness is essentially 127 00:08:41,917 --> 00:08:43,799 measured and plotted on maps. 128 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,603 So we can see exactly where it might be darker around our area 129 00:08:48,823 --> 00:08:53,005 and even if it's only marginally darker than where you live, it 130 00:08:53,005 --> 00:08:56,607 still makes a huge difference. But light pollution is a massive 131 00:08:56,647 --> 00:09:04,050 problem for not only researchers trying to do research on space 132 00:09:04,270 --> 00:09:09,332 and what's out there but also just general human life and 133 00:09:09,492 --> 00:09:13,313 nature as well. Our circadian rhythms can be massively 134 00:09:13,354 --> 00:09:18,396 affected by artificial light and we are absolutely surrounded by 135 00:09:18,416 --> 00:09:20,980 it at this point. There's no getting away from it unless you 136 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,222 go to incredibly isolated places. And personally I think 137 00:09:26,282 --> 00:09:30,363 it causes us to lose touch with our surroundings, the nature 138 00:09:30,403 --> 00:09:31,104 around us. 139 00:09:31,764 --> 00:09:35,405 I think it's also really profound being able to look up 140 00:09:35,406 --> 00:09:40,226 at the night sky and think about what's out there, think about 141 00:09:40,227 --> 00:09:45,028 the true scale of what's out there. And how incredibly 142 00:09:46,804 --> 00:09:51,510 unlikely it is that we've come into existence and consider all 143 00:09:51,511 --> 00:09:56,656 of these things and our place in the universe and i think when we 144 00:09:56,676 --> 00:09:59,600 can't see the night sky you kind of start to lose touch of that 145 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,742 you touch of what it really means to spend time on planet 146 00:10:02,802 --> 00:10:03,062 Earth. 147 00:10:05,023 --> 00:10:07,644 CLAIRE HICKINBOTHAM: Naz reaches Castlefield Bowl, Manchester's 148 00:10:07,724 --> 00:10:11,807 famous open-air music venue. It gives big views of the darkening 149 00:10:11,887 --> 00:10:15,669 sky, and Naz takes a front-row seat for the stars putting on 150 00:10:15,729 --> 00:10:16,870 their celestial show. 151 00:10:21,732 --> 00:10:24,054 NAZANIN JAHANSHAHI: We've arrived at Castlefield Bowl and 152 00:10:24,154 --> 00:10:27,596 we've got quite a nice view of the sky. We can see quite a big 153 00:10:27,656 --> 00:10:31,891 patch of it. And we're going to have a little sit down and talk 154 00:10:31,911 --> 00:10:34,333 about some of the other celestial bodies and then go on 155 00:10:34,334 --> 00:10:35,294 to Aurora hunting. 156 00:10:38,436 --> 00:10:42,140 So looking up at the skies, usually the first place that I 157 00:10:42,141 --> 00:10:44,502 would recommend kind of beginning your journey around 158 00:10:44,503 --> 00:10:48,465 the night sky is by looking for the North Star. And the way that 159 00:10:48,545 --> 00:10:52,228 we find the North Star is by looking for the Big Dipper. And 160 00:10:52,288 --> 00:10:57,444 there are seven stars that make up the shape of a pan. And once 161 00:10:57,445 --> 00:11:01,268 you've spotted the Big Dipper, from there it becomes quite easy 162 00:11:01,388 --> 00:11:03,029 to navigate your way around the sky. 163 00:11:03,410 --> 00:11:07,613 So the way that we find the North Star is by finding the two 164 00:11:07,713 --> 00:11:12,457 stars that make up the sort of the pan edge, so the opposite 165 00:11:12,497 --> 00:11:15,920 side to the pan handle, those two stars. You draw a line 166 00:11:15,940 --> 00:11:18,963 between those two stars and then you keep on drawing that line 167 00:11:19,323 --> 00:11:23,387 through the sky, up away from the pan and the next bright star 168 00:11:23,427 --> 00:11:24,548 that you get to or the next... 169 00:11:24,668 --> 00:11:27,850 brighter star that you get to that star there is the North 170 00:11:27,910 --> 00:11:30,952 Star. A common mistake that people make is that the North 171 00:11:31,012 --> 00:11:34,674 Star is the brightest star in the sky. It's not it's actually 172 00:11:34,854 --> 00:11:37,715 somewhere around the sort of 50th brightest in the sky. It's 173 00:11:37,776 --> 00:11:41,197 not a particularly bright star at all but again from the centre 174 00:11:41,217 --> 00:11:45,560 of Manchester i can still see it that is a star that will not 175 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,722 move no matter what season we're in no matter what time of the 176 00:11:48,762 --> 00:11:53,341 day it is, it will always remain in the exact same spot. So it's 177 00:11:53,342 --> 00:11:56,283 a really good place to sort of anchor yourself in the sky and 178 00:11:56,343 --> 00:11:59,406 from there you can work your way out to the other constellations 179 00:11:59,446 --> 00:12:00,466 immediately around it. 180 00:12:02,768 --> 00:12:06,311 So there are some nights where we can't see the moon or we see 181 00:12:06,331 --> 00:12:09,674 it a little bit later on. When the moon is at its fullest 182 00:12:09,754 --> 00:12:14,758 phase, it is essentially on the opposite side of the sun in 183 00:12:15,079 --> 00:12:16,380 where it appears in the sky. 184 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,463 So as the sun sets is when that full moon will rise on the 185 00:12:20,523 --> 00:12:25,149 opposite side. But we're currently in the time of the 186 00:12:25,150 --> 00:12:29,430 month where the moon is reaching its new moon phase and the sun 187 00:12:29,450 --> 00:12:33,171 is essentially behind it. All of the sunlight is being reflected 188 00:12:33,172 --> 00:12:36,633 off the dark side, the other side of the moon and then the 189 00:12:36,673 --> 00:12:37,753 side that we cannot see. 190 00:12:38,353 --> 00:12:40,594 But we're currently in that new moon phase, which actually so 191 00:12:40,694 --> 00:12:43,335 happens to be the best time of the month to actually do some 192 00:12:43,355 --> 00:12:47,136 stargazing. Because the moon itself is its own light 193 00:12:47,176 --> 00:12:47,696 pollution. 194 00:12:48,544 --> 00:12:51,005 When the moon is in the sky, it can actually be a massive 195 00:12:51,045 --> 00:12:54,966 hindrance to what you can see up there. And all of the sort of 196 00:12:55,026 --> 00:13:00,267 fainter stars completely fade into the sky. And it's, yeah, 197 00:13:00,407 --> 00:13:02,648 it's an incredibly bright object when it's up in the sky. 198 00:13:06,309 --> 00:13:07,929 CLAIRE HICKINBOTHAM: A short walk through the City has 199 00:13:07,989 --> 00:13:11,670 revealed some stunning secrets of the night sky. But there's 200 00:13:11,830 --> 00:13:15,311 one phenomenon that tops a lot of people's bucket lists. The 201 00:13:15,351 --> 00:13:20,033 aurora borealis, or the northern lights. Which appear as ethereal 202 00:13:20,113 --> 00:13:24,715 rippling strips of colour. The aurora borealis happens when the 203 00:13:24,775 --> 00:13:28,576 sun sends out massive flares of energy called coronal mass 204 00:13:28,636 --> 00:13:29,377 ejections. 205 00:13:30,217 --> 00:13:33,558 These flares travel through space on solar wind before they 206 00:13:33,598 --> 00:13:36,640 penetrate the Earth's magnetic field and are funnelled to the 207 00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:41,442 north and south poles. The sun's energy reacts with particles in 208 00:13:41,443 --> 00:13:44,803 the Earth's atmosphere to release light, and different 209 00:13:44,883 --> 00:13:48,225 elements release different colours like greens and reds. 210 00:13:49,906 --> 00:13:53,729 This light display is what we see as the aurora. And Naz has 211 00:13:53,809 --> 00:13:57,431 seen this celestial showstopper right here in Manchester. 212 00:14:00,734 --> 00:14:04,056 NAZANIN JAHANSHAHI: So I have seen the northern lights quite a 213 00:14:04,076 --> 00:14:07,518 few times. I've seen them in several locations around the 214 00:14:07,539 --> 00:14:11,701 world. I've seen them in Scandinavia and Finland. I've 215 00:14:11,741 --> 00:14:16,241 seen them in Iceland. I've also seen them in the UK. In Scotland 216 00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,922 and also right here in Manchester. 217 00:14:20,303 --> 00:14:24,166 On this evening where it was predicted to happen, I'd had 218 00:14:24,246 --> 00:14:29,229 word that the sun had had one of these coronal mass ejections and 219 00:14:29,490 --> 00:14:33,652 this ejection of energy was absolutely massive. So it had 220 00:14:33,653 --> 00:14:37,755 the potential of being an incredible show and everybody 221 00:14:37,795 --> 00:14:41,998 got very excited about it. On this particular evening, I was 222 00:14:42,038 --> 00:14:44,700 on my way to climb at an indoor climbing centre. 223 00:14:45,272 --> 00:14:50,515 And I got there with my partner, with my boyfriend, and as soon 224 00:14:50,535 --> 00:14:53,737 as I got there I was looking at my phone and I thought, 225 00:14:54,097 --> 00:14:58,039 tonight's the night, it's going to happen. So I actually left 226 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,741 him at the climbing centre and headed out into a slightly 227 00:15:01,781 --> 00:15:05,943 darker part of Manchester on a hill that we call Werneth Low. 228 00:15:06,684 --> 00:15:11,366 So I got up to this hill and there was people everywhere. And 229 00:15:11,367 --> 00:15:14,608 that excitement was really, really nice to see. And I 230 00:15:14,668 --> 00:15:18,070 interacted with people whilst we were waiting and it was very 231 00:15:18,170 --> 00:15:21,332 cold. Everyone was really cold waiting, shivering, but we stood 232 00:15:21,352 --> 00:15:25,535 there and we waited a few hours. We started to see a very bright 233 00:15:25,695 --> 00:15:26,395 red appearing. 234 00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:30,961 Something that a lot of people don't expect about the aurora, 235 00:15:31,081 --> 00:15:35,082 especially when you see all of these pictures of the aurora, is 236 00:15:35,162 --> 00:15:39,604 that when you see it with your own eyes, you don't see the 237 00:15:39,644 --> 00:15:43,425 colours that vibrantly. And that's purely because cameras 238 00:15:43,465 --> 00:15:45,906 can capture that light in a way that your eyes cannot. 239 00:15:46,686 --> 00:15:48,887 That doesn't take away from the spectacle of it, that doesn't 240 00:15:48,927 --> 00:15:52,928 take away from the ribbons of light, the whip across the sky. 241 00:15:53,784 --> 00:15:56,245 But on this particular night, waiting for it in Manchester, 242 00:15:56,385 --> 00:16:01,028 the first instance of it that we saw was very obviously red to 243 00:16:01,068 --> 00:16:06,411 our own eyes. And I have never in my life seen as much colour 244 00:16:06,871 --> 00:16:08,992 in the aurora as I did that night. 245 00:16:12,434 --> 00:16:17,117 The skies were filled with reds, with pinks, with greens, 246 00:16:17,277 --> 00:16:21,579 purples, and I could see it all with my own eyes. And it was 247 00:16:21,779 --> 00:16:26,782 absolutely incredible. And I was out for an hour, an hour and a 248 00:16:26,802 --> 00:16:29,624 half, trying to capture all of this, trying to take pictures of 249 00:16:29,704 --> 00:16:29,885 it. 250 00:16:30,505 --> 00:16:34,328 And the fact that I was able to take pictures like that, so 251 00:16:34,488 --> 00:16:37,370 close to the centre of Manchester, surrounded by all of 252 00:16:37,371 --> 00:16:40,472 this light pollution, was really, really spectacular for 253 00:16:40,473 --> 00:16:45,836 me and will possibly be my most memorable experience of the 254 00:16:45,856 --> 00:16:49,839 aurora. It is really like watching magic appear right 255 00:16:49,859 --> 00:16:51,280 above your head because... 256 00:16:52,648 --> 00:16:55,629 you know, it's not like you've switched it on or off. It's 257 00:16:55,709 --> 00:16:59,830 something that has naturally occurred in the sky. And I think 258 00:16:59,870 --> 00:17:02,991 the elusive nature of it as well makes it all that more special. 259 00:17:05,011 --> 00:17:08,632 There's a lot that we can see out there if we just look up. 260 00:17:09,192 --> 00:17:12,153 There is so much that you wouldn't expect, so much that 261 00:17:12,173 --> 00:17:15,154 you wouldn't even know about that happens on a daily basis 262 00:17:15,234 --> 00:17:19,275 that if you just look up and you question what you see up there, 263 00:17:19,675 --> 00:17:22,036 you'll see things that not everyone sees. 264 00:17:32,748 --> 00:17:34,169 CLAIRE HICKINBOTHAM: I hope you've enjoyed this month's 265 00:17:34,249 --> 00:17:38,152 Nature Fix.
