Space Mysteries: The Sky at Night Meets Curious Cases
In a spectacular season finale, the team are joined by Hannah Fry and Dara Ó Briain in front of a live studio audience to answer viewers' burning queries about space.
Do aliens exist, and can we talk to them? What does a black hole sound like? Does the universe look like a doughnut? In a spectacular season finale, The Sky at Night teams up with hit podcast Curious Cases to answer your burning space mysteries, from the strange sounds of the
cosmos to the furthest edges of the observable universe.
Filmed in front of a live studio audience, presenters Hannah Fry and Dara Ó Briain bring their signature wit and curiosity as they quiz our stellar panel of experts - Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Chris Lintott and George Dransfield. Expect lively debate, surprising revelations, and moments of pure astronomical awe as they explore the weird and wonderful corners of space science.
Meanwhile, Pete Lawrence turns his eyes to the heavens to guide us through the incredible sights currently lighting up the night sky and offering a glimpse into the mysteries that unfold when we simply look up.
Adding another layer of intrigue, a special ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Ideas animation explores our ongoing search for alien life and the tantalising possibility of making contact with extraterrestrial intelligence.
And for those who want to keep the curiosity flowing, Radio 4 are airing a companion episode of Curious Cases, featuring extra content from the live recording.
Join us for this unforgettable night of cosmic exploration before the programme returns in the spring of 2026 with even more wonders from the final frontier.
