Another fascinating video chaps! Just like the cutlass, it would be great if a few times a show you could translate some of the more technical terms for more casual viewers like myself.

I love your videos, I've watched you on The Sky at Night with Sir Patric Moore and since then with amazing Prof Maggie (thanks for living the life I wished but ended up a computer tech and teacher of computer classes which I absolutely loved anyway) I have been looking for any new episodes of TSAN from 2023 but haven't seen any? What has happened to the only TV show on our planet to actually include me, and even imagine that some of us might actually be interested in space even though we're not Professors or Dr Lintot l@@k alikes :) We have no space shows in Australia, which is a complete insult considering our view of The Milky Way and our history of communications with our radio telescopes. What a shame :( bugger all people know anything about Australia's intricate part of chatting with the Voyagers and countless others. Please say you are still making TSAN and let me know how I can see you all again :) I miss you guys. Lucky I have hundreds of past episodes until you make more. Oh hey, this will blow your mind .. my name is Sky Starlite .. that's right :)

dont you just love it when theres an eclipse _in your birthday month?_

[@johndoiron9615]

I'm disappointed that you didn't mention the close approach of the Moon and Jupiter on the evening of October 1st.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

I think that Neptune and Mercury are the only planets I haven't seen in 2023.I don't bother with Mercury in the morning sky as I'm mainly in bed but also it's more risky than the evening as the Sun is coming up rather than going down.

[@chrisclark4112]

Why is Jupiter almost horizontal?

[@cliffwatson8478]

Would be good if you menschen points for your southern hemisphere viewers as I am in Australia.

The whole universe will align, in respect for the Creator's Glorious appearance... Signs in the sky on Lord's Glorious appearance... Luke 21: 25...🙏🙌 Redemption/Rapture/Deliverance/salvation is at hand for all in Christ, for those waiting upon/desiring Lord's glorious Coming (Heb 9v28; Philippians 3v20; 2 Thess 2v8 ; 2Tim 2v8; Matt 16v27; )🙌🙏
