Searching the Solar System - Christmas Lectures 2025 with Maggie Aderin-Pocock 2/3
Space scientist Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock continues her search for alien life with a grand tour of our solar system. Could any other planets or moons out there be habitable? In this lecture, Maggie continues her journey, this time in a search for life in the rest of our solar system. From the ancient Greeks’ first observations of 'planetai' (wandering stars), she starts by tracing the evolution in our understanding of the solar system and how it came to be, before exploring its central powerhouse, the sun.
