It’s time for Science Spotlight. Each week we talk about the fun facts and big breakthroughs made in the pursuit of scientific knowledge.
This week, we are shining a spotlight on an individual rather than a particular topic. Professor Martin Rees is one of the United Kingdom’s most decorated astronomers.
