In a post dated January 16, 2020, Albury reported that the first episode, March of the Planets!, had been recorded earlier that same day.

The program teaches viewers how to locate constellations and stars in the sky and presents interesting facts about celestial objects.

Due the quarantining efforts during the 2020 outbreak of the SARS-Cov2 virus, an animated version of James Albury was used for 7 episodes (2020-05 "So Long Comet Atlas" through 2020-12 "Center of the Galaxy").

On April 1, 2021, as part of an 'April Fools' Day' prank, James Albury posted on the show's Facebook fan page a rant that he was giving up on Astronomy and changing sciences.

In addition to the short online television episodes, James Albury and Professor Andy Sheppard also cohosted a series of The Sky Above Us audio podcasts.
