Andrew Lound
The Discovery of New Worlds In 1781 William Herschel discovered the planet Uranus and ‘doubled the size of the Solar System’. Since then numerous worlds have been discovered and old worlds have had their surfaces imaged by spacecraft. Andrew takes us on a dramatic voyage of exploration to the worlds in our Solar System telling us the tales of the explorers, of the bravery, of the controversies, and offers a glimpse of worlds beyond, all illustrated by amazing images and accompanied by music.
With a background in Astronomy and Planetary Science and also in Media, Andrew has been active in raising public awareness of astronomy and space science since the 1970s. He has frequently been interviewed on radio on astronomy, space and history and he often tours the UK with his Odyssey Dramatic Presentations and Lectures.
