Our chat with Dr. Chris North from our live show to ease the boredom of covid lockdowns.

We ask Chris astronomy questions from our listeners:

• Why are astronomers so sure that the recent interstellar comet came from outside the solar system

• Which is going to be the most exciting telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope or the Square Kilometer Array?

• What is the most exciting discovery we can expect from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Square Kilometer Array?

• How the James Webb Space Telescope and Square Kilometer Array will work.

Chris is Director of Recruitment and Admissions and the Head of Public Engagement. Working on public engagement in print and TV, education and data visualization for a range of projects, most notably the Gravity Exploration Institute.
