The skeleton of Richard III was discovered beneath a Leicester car park in 2012. Forensic techniques were used to analyse injuries to the skull, rib and pelvis.

This lecture will present the endeavours of cosmologists and particle physicists, as they attempt to explain the fundamental nature of these mysterious dark components.
How can life form in the Universe, and what are the necessary ingredients for planets to sustain it? Can we expect life elsewhere in the solar system, or on exo-planets?
How many exo-planets might be out there? What does technology in astronomical observatories enable? What is holding us back from finding what is out there?
