Get ready to talk the Planck

Don’t miss the chance to quiz leading scientists from the Planck research team about their work, and how it may change our understanding of the universe, in a live webcast this week.

Even the most die-hard inflation advocate would have to accept that the universe, on large scales, looks odd
-George Efstathiou



Earlier this year, researchers unveiled the most detailed picture of the early Universe created to date – but it was far more than just a map. In time, their findings could change our ideas about the beginnings of the universe, and of existence itself.

This week, three leading members of the Planck research team who carried out the study will be taking part in a live webcast to answer people’s questions about what they found, and what it might mean.

Live video stream starts here at 20:00 BST tomorrow (31 July}. Email questions now to [email protected], or tweet using the hashtag #KavliAstro
