Dr Maggie's Grand Tour of the Solar System

Product Information

Space scientist Dr Maggie would love to explore the far reaches of our solar system. However, the journey would take thousands of years, not to mention the out-of-this-world cost. Instead, she invites readers to join her on a grand space tour using their imaginations. Dr Maggie begins by explaining what makes up a solar system and how the tour will work. She then embarks on the journey of a lifetime from Earth to the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, located around 15 trillion km away, via the sun, moon, planets, satellites and asteroid belts.

She studied at Imperial College London, graduated with a BSc in physics in 1990, and completed her PhD in mechanical engineering under the supervision of Hugh Spikes in 1994. [10] Her research investigated the development of an ultra-thin film measurement system using spectroscopy and interferometry to the 2.5 nm level. [11] This involved improving the optical performance and the mechanical design of the system, as well as the development of control and image processing software. Other techniques at the time could only operate to the micron level with much poorer resolution. This development work resulted in the instrument being sold by an Imperial College University spin-off company, PCS Instruments.
