Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock is a space scientist and science educator
who has worked on a number of instruments that are revolutionising
our view of the cosmos, including the James Webb Space Telescope.
This year she will be giving the Royal Institution Christmas
lectures, Britain’s most prestigious public science lectures, in
which she will be exploring some of the big questions space science
still has to answer. Nicola Davis sat down with Dame Maggie to
discuss the lectures, why she is convinced there is life beyond our
planet, and her dream of journeying to a distant exoplanet.
Madeleine Finlay hears from them both in this Christmas special
