For those awake and interested...the Lowell Observatory up in Northern Arizona is live streaming the Lyrid meteor shower tomorrow evening. Supposed to be decent as there won't be much interference from the moon.

Recently finished listening to a BBC World Service podcast - 13minutestothemoon available on the BBC Sounds app.
Really interesting podcast about the Apollo 11 mission to the moon in July '69, and loads on the development, problems and triumphs of the sixties space race
