The world-famous CHRISTMAS LECTURES are coming to Cambridge in December, when Cambridge Museum of Technology streams the live filming, direct from the Royal Institution (Ri) theatre in London.
Watched by millions on the BBC, the annual CHRISTMAS LECTURES are a firm family favourite broadcast during the festive season. Cambridge Museum of Technology is one of this year’s livestream partners, meaning that Cambridge science lovers, and anyone who’s just curious about the world around them, will be able to experience first-hand the magic of the world’s longest-running science lecture series.
Lecture 2
In the second lecture, our search for extraterrestrial life continues as viewers are taken on a whirlwind tour through our Solar System—from the blazing Sun to the edge of the ‘heliosphere’ where space becomes interstellar. Dame Maggie delves into historic and current missions to planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the gas giants, highlighting the growing evidence that moons such as Europa and Titan may harbour conditions suitable for life. Lecture two celebrates landmark space missions, such as the Voyager probes, and explores the evolution of our understanding of planetary science. The discoveries made along this cosmic journey underscore how much we have learned—and how much remains to be discovered.
