BBC Four - The Sky at Night, Review of the Year

The team looks back on the major stories of 2016 and sees how they have developed.

The team looks back on the major stories of 2016 and sees how they have developed. What has the Juno probe discovered at Jupiter? Has Planet 9 been found?

2016 has been a remarkable year in many ways, but one area in which it has been particularly good is in space science. There have been new missions to Jupiter and Mars, planets have been found on the outskirts of the solar system and around our nearest neighbouring star, and the discovery of gravitational waves has potentially given us a new way of investigating the universe.

In this episode, the Sky at Night team looks back on the major stories of the year and sees how they have developed since they hit the headlines. What has the Juno probe discovered at Jupiter? Has Planet 9 been found? And are we any closer to finding Earth-like planets elsewhere in the galaxy?
