WIN a Digital Camera and Atlas with Space Week

What does the future hold for Earth, the Milky Way and the Universe?
Take a special journey into the cosmos with our special week of Space Week programming.

Explore the cosmos with some of the world’s biggest telescopes, learn about the early days of the universe and the creation of stars and then take a sobering look at how the universe might ultimately end.

Special programmes include:

Journey to the Edge of the Universe
Fusing images and information from spacecraft, the Hubble Space Telescope and the world’s biggest telescopes, this is the first accurate exploration of the cosmos, from our planet to the rest of the universe.
Sunday 4th January at 8pm

Cosmic Monsters
Take a virtual journey starting in the early days of the universe and the creation of the stars, right down to the centre of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, where a truly hungry monster sits a supermassive black hole.
Monday 5th January at 9pm

Hubble’s Final Frontier
The Hubble Space Telescope is responsible for mapping the skies in such a way that it seems inconceivable that the final frontier of space could ever have been successfully breached without it. Astronauts are preparing a dangerous mission to refurbish it once more before being succeeded by the James Webb Telescope.
Monday 5th January at 10pm

Death of the Universe
A look at how it all might end. Will the cosmos be torn apart atom by atom in a cataclysmic finale, or will the universe continue to expand forever as its nuclear furnaces grow cold and die?
Tuesday 6th January at 9pm
