Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory is perhaps Australia’s best-loved science communicator.

Professor Watson was the obvious choice to explain how the Cassini space probe will wrap up a twenty-year exploration mission with a spectacular series of dives between the rings of Saturn.

An astrophysicist, Fred has a fantastic ability to infect others with his enthusiasm for the Universe. He also shared with Open House his own journey through faith.
