TO THE PUBLIC FOR
BBC2’S STARGAZING
LIVE 2014 EVENTS
Stargazing LIVE returned
for a fourth series on
BBC Two, which set out
to encourage everyone
to make the most of the
night sky.
The Observatory offered
views of the skies
through telescopes, tours
the observatory, and talks
with astronomers. As well
as asking some of the
big questions, there were
hints and tips for getting
started in stargazing and
advice on navigating your
way around the skies.

The project won a grant
of nearly £1 million from
the AHRC to edit and
publish ten volumes of
the work and letters of
the pioneering, modernist
writer, Dorothy Richardson
(1873-1957) with Oxford
University Press. Based
at Keele, the project is a
five-year collaboration
between Keele, and the
universities of Oxford,
London and Birmingham.
In a ground breaking
collaboration between
Keele, Staffordshire
County Council and
Stoke-on-Trent City
Council, the Cabinet
Office has confirmed
that it will pump £5m
into a £27million project
creating a UK’s first
Smart Energy Network
Demonstrator site.
As the national lead for
such groundbreaking
work, the long term
benefits include the
creation of high tech
jobs in the energy
sector, attract inward
investment and be a
major technicological
boost to the area.
