Telescopes of the future: Bringing the Universe into focus

As our exploration of the cosmos continues apace, the observatories of the future, in space and on the ground, will cast light on some of the biggest scientific questions we face today: how the Universe came into being, how it evolved into its present state, and whether life could exist on other planets. Dr Sarah Kendrew will introduce you to the scientific and technological marvel of astronomy’s new generation of telescopes that will revolutionise our view of the Universe in the next decade.
