Prosessor Brian Cox and Dara O'Briain who will host Stargazing LIVE

The BBC are broadcasting live over three consecutive nights of “extraordinary astronomical events” from across the UK and further afield in a BBC programme known as Stargazing LIVE. Professor Brian Cox (@profbriancox) and comedian Dara O’Briain (@daraobriain) host the live stargazing events that promise “epic images from observatories around the globe”.

The programme appeals to professionals and amateur astronomers alike, providing a crash course in stargazing. It teaches observation and photography techniques over three busy celestial days, including a meteor shower, a partial eclipse of the sun, and our biggest planet Jupiter.

Presenter Jonathon Ross (@wossy) features in the show and discovers that stargazing is possible without expensive equipment. Liz Bonnin also reports live from Hawaii and explains the formation of Earth and how stars affect us.

The programme will be broadcast on BBC 2 from tomorrow, Monday January 3rd 2011, and runs for three consecutive nights, with each episode airing at 8pm [GMT].

Brains Byte Back

Brains Byte Back interviews startups, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders that tap into how our brains work. We explore how knowledge & technology intersect to build a better, more sustainable future for humanity. If you’re interested in ideas that push the needle, and future-proofing yourself for the new information age, join us every Friday. Brains Byte Back guests include founders, CEOs, and other influential individuals making a big difference in society, with past guest speakers such as New York Times journalists, MIT Professors, and C-suite executives of Fortune 500 companies.

In this episode of Brains Byte Back, we explore a topic that touches all of us at some point in life: inheritance and the difficult process of managing a loved one’s finances after they pass away. Those who have experienced it would agree that time takes on a new meaning, whether it’s time spent with your loved one or time spent grieving.

Erick sits down with Saeid Kian, the CEO and co-founder of Ribbon, to discuss how his company is looking to give that time back to families by limiting the hours spent completing paperwork, visiting financial institutions, or making multiple calls.

Saeid’s journey to creating Ribbon is a personal one. The loss of his father introduced him to an outdated process he encountered while dealing with money matters following his passing. We’ll hear how his frustration led to a solution that’s not only changing how families navigate the financial obligations of a loved one but also how his time is providing significant value to credit unions by creating a modernized process that’s prepared, efficient and empathic.

It’s a valuable conversation on how technology can make one of life’s hardest moments a little easier.
