      Well I was always someone to look up at the night sky and wonder how everything worked out there, but my love and wonder at the universe was solidified when Brian Cox’s shows started to air. In fact I was about the age to start my A-Levels when ‘Wonders of the Solar System’ started to air, and I was awestruck! I was very taken in by the beauty and majesty of the planets and the sun in the show, and this inspired me to delve deeper into astrophysics and eventually decide to study Physics at university.
