RI Christmas Lectures 2003

Science & Engineering5 x 50' for Channel 4

Meteorite-hunter Monica Grady takes us on a 'Voyage in Space & Time'.

Meteorite-hunter Dr Monica Grady takes us on a 'Voyage in Space & Time' from the Big Bang to the latest news from Mars.

The lecture series considers the big questions. Just how old is the universe? What is the truth behind dark matter and black holes? How are galaxies formed, and how does light travel?

Find out about the weirder side of space - what are wormholes and spaggettification? They may not sound like typical space terms, but these are real scientific concepts. In addition to numerous explosions, the lectures are illustrated by some of the most detailed pictures of space ever taken by the Hubble space telescope.
