The new Sky at Night episode was aired last night at 11pm on BBC4 which was a bit late for me so I just watched it on iPlayer where it’s available for 6 more days so catch it quick. (The clip of my interview is also available here). I was interviewed by Maggie Aderin-Pocock about my beautiful comet dust and you can see a picture of us above after the interview which was such fun. I think they did a great job with the programme too as it’s really informative with Chris Lintott having gone over to ESOC to speak to some of the mission scientists and engineers. Maggie was based at The Open University showing off our pretty summery campus, the lander model and you might also spot ‘Comet Starkey’ (as it’s being called), and this was the comet sculpture I had made for The Royal Society exhibit (unfortunately not a real comet with my name!). So, I hope you enjoy the show.
