In the second lecture, our search for extraterrestrial life continues as viewers are taken on a whirlwind tour through our Solar System—from the blazing Sun to the edge of the ‘heliosphere’ where space becomes interstellar. Dame Maggie delves into historic and current missions to planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the gas giants, highlighting the growing evidence that moons such as Europa and Titan may harbour conditions suitable for life. Lecture two celebrates landmark space missions, such as the Voyager probes, and explores the evolution of our understanding of planetary science. The discoveries made along this cosmic journey underscore how much we have learned—and how much remains to be discovered.
