- Can people live on Mars?
- Can an amateur astronomer make useful discoveries?
- Why do we have leap years and leap seconds?
- What are the most extreme conditions life can survive?
- Is there an edge to the Universe?
- What happens inside a black hole?

The Universe Explained answers questions about space travel; telescopes; the solar system; comets, asteroids and meteors; stars; black holes; the Milky Way and other galaxies; the big bang and space and time. As well, Couper and Henbest explore the possibility of life beyond our planet with up-to-date space discoveries and debunk persistent myths and legends.
