Women have made many significant contributions to astronomy throughout its history, and their work has helped to advance our knowledge. This has included the discovery of a new planet in our Solar System, the development of the Hubble Space Telescope allowing astronomers to look back to the beginning of the Universe, and the discovery of the strangest material in the Universe – Dark Matter.

Join Mike Alexander as he explores the contributions made to astronomy by women, and talks about the first female Scottish Astronomer Royal – Catherine Heymans.
