The Sun is at the peak of its 11 year cycle of activity and has also just been eclipsed by the Moon. Patrick Moore is joined by Chris Lintott to its variability and to look back at previous eclipses.
The Sun has been in the news again, it is at the peak of its 11 year cycle of activity and there have been large solar flares, many sunspots and good displays of aurorae. It has also been eclipsed by the Moon for the first time since the great UK eclipse of 1999. Patrick Moore is joined by Chris Lintott to discuss the Sun, its variability and to look back at some of the eclipses The Sky at Night has seen.
