Royal Institution Christmas Lectures: Is There Life Beyond Earth?

Maggie Aderin-Pocock goes on the hunt for alien worlds

Maggie Aderin-Pocock takes her audience beyond the Earth's solar system, deep into the Milky Way galaxy, and yet further out into the universe, where the chances of finding life out there somewhere seem greater than ever before. She is joined by British astronaut Tim Peake to demonstrate the challenges of launching the James Webb Space Telescope into space, and he recalls his own experiences of travelling into space 10 years ago and reveals the impact on his perspective about what might be out there beyond Earth
