Leigh Fletcher

Leigh is a researcher at Oxford University looking at the climate on other planets. If that sounds like a space weatherman it’s because it’s a pretty good description of his work! He uses data from the Cassini Huygens Space Probe, which is currently studying the atmosphere on Saturn, to try and explain weather patterns on the ringed planet.

He’s a James Bond fan, has a thing for big telescopes and would love to meet the astronauts who’ve walked on the moon. And for ambition? Well, if NASA are looking for an astronaut for the Mars trip…
