Exploration of the universe and our nearest planet, Mars
Scientists are studying the visible celestial bodies such as stars, planets and galaxies, but also the mysterious dark universe - dark matter and dark energy.
Exoplanets with Lars Buchhave, astrophysicist at the Niels Bohr Institute

Is Earth unique or just one of many habitable planets? Can we find evidence of life elsewhere? It's just fifteen years ago, the first planet around a Sun-like star outside our own solar system was discovered.
Cosmic Explosions with Johan Fynbo, astrophysicist at the Niels Bohr Institute
