Professor Brian Cox used some of our striated balls in the recent Stargazing Live on BBC2 - as stand in for planets.
The first series was scheduled to coincide with the partial solar eclipse in Januray 2011 a conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus and the Quadrantid meteor shower.
To coincide with the show, hundreds of Stargazing Live events were run across the UK, . Many of these events were organised by local astronomy societies.
