In the atmosphere of Saturn there is a gigantic storm, which is bigger than Earth itself. This month Sir Patrick Moore looks at the ringed planet, which can be seen in our night sky now. He talks to Paul Abel and Dr Chris North about these violent eruptions in the atmospheres of other worlds.
And Jon Culshaw, Dr Lucie Green and Pete Lawrence travel to north Norway in search of the aurora borealis.

Sir Patrick Moore - My 700 appearances on The Sky at Night

Sir Patrick turned 88 yesterday. Today he will hold a party at Farthings, the house he has lived in for almost 50 years.
His carer Dawn tells me there will be celebrities in attendance. Brian May, the Queen guitarist who is also a keen astronomer, is coming. Brian Cox, Sir Patrick's heir, will probably be there. And possibly Nigel Farage, with whom Sir Patrick has become good friends since he signed up to Ukip.
There is another reason to celebrate. Tomorrow is the 700th episode of The Sky At Night, the world's longest running television show.

The edition of The Sky at Night for 6th March 2011 will be our 700th - easily a world record for the unbroken run of a television programme with the same writer/presenter. I am not conceited enough to think that I am personally responsible; everyone must take at least some interest in other worlds, and I simply happened to be in the right place at what was, for me, the right time.
Over the 53 years that we have been on-air, viewers have written to us with questions. We have always answered as best we can, but we are now going to present our first true "question and answer" programme where a team of experts will answer viewers' enquiries. So is there some astronomical conundrum that you would really like to see cleared up? If so, let us know and our team will answer as many questions as possible in a single programme.

A look at new images of star-forming areas of our galaxy from the Herschel telescope.

The many star-forming areas of our galaxy are obscured by interstellar dust, but Herschel, a new space telescope, can see these areas in infrared light. Sir Patrick Moore is joined by Professor Derek Ward-Thompson and Dr Chris North to examine the latest stunning images from Herschel.
