Synopsis
The unique object known to astronomers at SS433 looks at first sight like a dim star, but has proved to be as bizarre as anything known. Jets of material spreading out from it are 'processing' in the manner of a lawn-sprinkler. Patrick Moore talks about SS433 with Dr David Clark , co-discoverer of its extraordinary nature.
