Dara O'Briain Teaches Space Physics: Squishing and Clumping

Dara O’Briain is our first ever special guest - here to help us celebrate a whole year of Lexx Education and graduate us into our second year. International superstar Dara O’Briain (Stargazing Live, Infinite Monkey Cage, Dara O’Briain Meets Stephen Hawking) tells the science siblings all about his passion: space. Dara turns his masterful skills to the job of trying to get Laura and Ron to care about physics by explaining that all the stuff that currently makes them livid about physics is just the building blocks to loving it in the future. We discuss planets - what is a planet? Is the moon a planet? How does the moon control the tides? Is everything really made of dust? What is going on in the sun? What are black holes and where are you if you’re in one?
