Most stars end their lives in brilliant explosions known as supernovae. Brad will show how our understanding of these objects has been revolutionised using new techniques including the Kepler Space Telescope and what this means for the Universe.

To get an explosion big enough to send a rocket into space we need rocket fuel, made of HYDROGEN. Next time you want to travel to outer space, don’t take your rocket to a refuelling station! Instead, make your hydrogen at home with this simple experiment, using things you can find around your house.

Space lasers, re-usable rockets, and space mining. They all may sound like science-fiction but they are closer to reality than you may think. We'll cover the latest in space technology and advancements, and look at things like humans returning to the Moon and moving to Mars.
