SPACE MOG: DR MAGGIE LIEU

Welcome to my channel! I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and I make youtube videos about space & astronomy. In the midst of the global Coronavirus pandemic, some people are claiming that Covid19 originates from space. Is this true? and if so how does it work? In this week's video, I'll be talking about space viruses.

Welcome to my channel! I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and I make youtube videos about space & astronomy. Isolation - it sucks. But that's one thing that astronauts have to do as a job! Current missions to the international space station will last several months, but in future space missions to Mars and beyond, isolation may last a year or more. For this reason, making isolation for astronauts as comfortable as possible is very important. So let's talk about that.

Welcome to my channel! I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and I make youtube videos about space & astronomy. In this weeks video, I'll discuss the speed of light, why in principle we can't travel faster than it, and then go on to discuss a theoretical method that could be used to break the speed of light barrier - Alcubierre drives.

Welcome to my channel! I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and I make youtube videos about space & astronomy. Galaxies come in all shapes and sizes - ellipticals, spirals, dwarves and more... but why is that so?

Welcome to my channel! I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and I make youtube videos about space & astronomy. ESA will be launching their next generation mission to the Sun later this week, Solar Orbiter will get up close to our local star to make both in situ and remote sensing measurements. The mission will be the first of its kind to image the Sun's polar regions. In this video, I will be talking all about the mission and the challenges of going to the Sun.

Welcome to my channel! I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and I make youtube videos about space & astronomy. In 2020 we will be seeing the launch of a new dark matter experiment Lux Zeplin, but this experiment will be built deep underground rather than up in space! How do we detect dark matter in the ground? And how do these methods compare to space detections of dark matter? Find out in this weeks video.
