It is one of the things that we share culturally across the globe: a desire to get a better understanding of the night sky. Traditionally passed along through myths and legends, these stories of space have evolved to astronomical data recording which Maggie brings to life with her characteristic warmth and expertise. Each planet becomes a character with its own story to tell, from Jupiter the King of the Solar System to ice oddity Uranus and outlier planet-but-not-a-planet Pluto.
In The Story of the Solar System, Maggie answers the questions that have fascinated us for centuries. What is a planet? Is there life on Mars? What makes Earth so special?
As someone with dyslexia, it’s important to Maggie to make our ever-growing knowledge of the Universe accessible to all. Through the latest scientific research, beautiful illustrations and indepth knowledge, Maggie provides an essential guide for anyone who has ever looked up and wondered, ‘what’s out there?’.
Talks will last approximately one hour followed by a Q&A.
