- How amateur astronomers can contribute to real science through their images of planets, meteor counting and Zooniverse projects
- Removing the boundaries between professional and amateur astronomers
- Finding supernovae (violently exploding stars)
- The next generation of exciting telescopes – JWST & SKA – and what they will discover
- Chris’ best guess on what the unexplained radio bursts are that we’re finding in the galaxy
