This fun, action-packed title leaves no question unanswered and no meteorite unturned.
Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock is a space scientist whose passion is presenting science to a general audience and demonstrating that you ‘don’t need a brain the size of a small planet’ to understand, participate in and enjoy science. Her programme 'Do We Really Need the Moon?' (BBC 2), which explored our intimate relationship with the moon, showed just that. The programme earned Maggie the talkback Thames new talent award at the prestigious Women in Film and TV Awards in December 2011. She went on to present a follow up 'Do We Really Need Satellites?' (also BBC 2) and was one of the Scientists on Channel 4’s 'Brave New World' as well as regular stints on 'The One Show'. She is currently presenting the new series of 'Sky At Night' on BBC 4 and Mini Stargazing for Cbeebies.
