Brian Cox Stargazing Live causes 500% jump in telescope sales
BBC Stargazing Live has caused a 500% increase in the sales of telescope thanks to what retailers are calling "Brian Cox effect".Bosses at Amazon.co.uk say they have seen a 491 per cent increase in telescope sales since the BBC2 series began on Monday evening.A spokesperson for Amazon told Pocket-Lint.com: "In the three hours following Stargazing Live being aired we saw an almost six-fold increase in sales of telescopes."Each time the popular physicist appears on TV we see a jump in telescope sales and that would appear to point to a significant ‘Brian Cox effect’ encouraging a renewed interest in stargazing."
