A Gresham College lecture by Professor Chris Lintott

100 years ago this year, Edwin Hubble published the first conclusive evidence that there were galaxies beyond the Milky Way.

This lecture, using new results from our latest space telescopes and ground-based instruments, surveys the diversity of systems that we’ve found since, from giant and beautiful spirals to mysterious Little Red Dots.

It will be given by Professor Chris Lintott, presenter of Sky at Night and Gresham College's Professor of Astronomy
