    The British weather is often the enemy of stargazers up anddown the country. A forecast of a couple of hours of cloudcover will disappoint even the most determined of amateurastronomers. So, this month, the Sky at Night becomes the‘Sky at Day' to provide an alternative range of spectacles toobserve and activities to partake in, ideal when the nightsare short, and the stars are hiding behind the clouds.The mostobvious spectacle to observe is of course our own star, thesun. A moment is needed to appreciate that whilst amateurs andscientists alike spend lifetimes and whole careers searchingafter distant stars in the night sky, we have a star on ourcelestial doorstep that we can actually send a space probe to.In 2018, that is exactly what Nasa did. The idea for theParker Solar Probe was conceived in 1958, but it took 60 yearsto develop the technology to make it possible, namely,working out how to prevent it from melting.Justin Kasper,principal investigator for the Sweap instrument (Solar WindElectrons Alphas and Protons investigation), spoke to Chrisabout how the probe entered the sun's atmosphere and madeincredible discoveries about its structure. It revealed thatthe boundary where solar material anchored to the sun firstescapes and becomes the solar wind is not a smooth ball but hasspikes and valleys that wrinkle the ‘Alfvén criticalsurface'. Previously, the coronal streamers that cause thiswrinkling had been observed from a distance but never measureddirectly until Sweap came along. Its discoveries are alteringwhat scientists know about the way in which the sun'satmosphere transforms into the solar wind.Back on earth, DrHannah Wakeford shows us how observing the sun as it rises andsets in the sky can tell us a huge amount about the compositionof our atmosphere and the weather on the horizon. The adage‘Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky in themorning, shepherd's warning' is dismissed as many as an oldwives' tale. However, due to our unique position in themid-latitudes, it turns out that this saying may be moreaccurate than many think. Hannah also explores, as lighttravels from the sun to our eye, how different wavelengths areabsorbed and scattered by the atmosphere, and the light thatcompletes the journey to our eye or our telescope can revealthe combination of gases that make up the atmosphere. Hannahexplains how this process has helped scientists to work out thecomposition of the atmosphere of other planets in our solarsystem and even exoplanets orbiting distant stars.Exploringduring the day can sometimes unlock a whole new scientificfield. Guest presenter George Dransfield spoke to urbanmicrometeorite hunter Jon Larsen about how he accidentallydiscovered a micrometeorite on his garden table whilst eatingstrawberries on a fine summer's day, and how, ever since, hehas been pioneering a method for amateurs across the globe todiscover pieces of stardust in their own back garden. Georgetries to find some micrometeorites of her own, and in theprocess, learns about the huge spectrum of micrometeoritesthat Jon, along with his partner Jan Braly Kihle, has foundand photographed in astounding detail.As well as huntingmeteorites and watching the sunset, there is also stargazingto be done during the day. Amateur astronomer and outreach heroSimon Holbeche from Bath spends every sunny weekend showingmembers of the public the sun in a whole new light. Usingdifferent specialist telescopes and heavy solar filters, Simonis able to show passers-by the incredible sunspots on the solarsurface and the exploding prominences in the sun's atmosphere.His enduring hope is that those passers-by might become hookedby what they've seen, and one day come back to see the sky atnight.
