  • What would happen to an astronaut exposed to space?
  • Can people live on Mars?
  • Can an amateur astronomer make useful discoveries?
  • Why do we have leap years and leap seconds?
  • What are the most extreme conditions life can survive?
  • Is there an edge to the Universe?
  • What happens inside a black hole?
  • Is Pluto a planet?

The Universe Explained answers questions about space travel; telescopes; the solar system; comets, asteroids and meteors; stars; black holes; the Milky Way and other galaxies; the big bang and space and time. As well, Couper and Henbest explore the possibility of life beyond our planet with up-to-date space discoveries and debunk persistent myths and legends.
