Available for over a year

We'll take you from a County Durham town, to the very furthest reaches of the universe and the into the beating heart of a tiny, tiny little fish....oh, and we'll be stopping off in Durham and Chile on the way. Scientists in our region have pioneered technology which takes the twinkle out of stars...and as if that wasn't amazing enough the same technology could one day lead to a huge breakthrough in the way we treat heart problems in humans. Our reporter David Macmillan has been telling Ali Brownlee about it.
