The UCL Institute of Origins – exploring the origin and evolution of the universe, and the origin of life – was launched on 27 February 2009, featuring a talk by Nobel Laureate Professor Sir Paul Nurse.UCL President and Provost Professor Malcolm Grant described the institute as a model for how UCL is organising its intellectual activity, by drawing together individual pockets of expertise around particular research themes.Professor Louise Harra, Director of the UCL Institute of Origins, introduced its four research themes – neutrino physics, planetary science, galaxy evolution and the mathematical foundations of origins – and described collaboration taking places across a variety of research groups: the UCL Astrophysics Group and UCL High-Energy Physics, in UCL Physics & Astronomy; UCL Earth Sciences; UCL Mathematics; and the UCL Mullard Space Science Laboratory (UCL Space & Climate Physics).She thanked the UCL Provost’s Strategic Fund for providing support for new researchers and PhD studentships.2001 Nobel Laureate Sir Paul – who leads the Science Planning Committee of the UK Centre for Medical Research & Innovation (UKCMRI), in which UCL is a partner – is President of Rockefeller University and an amateur astronomer. He spoke on ‘Curiosity & Science’, asserting that curiosity was the motivating factor of the greatest scientists, regardless of whether their research was ‘pure’ or applied. He said that the power to improve the world came from knowledge acquired through curiosity, and that it was important to support science across the board, not just in those areas perceived as approaching application.CERN physicist John Ellis, a UCL Visiting Professor, spoke on ‘Particles & Cosmology’, providing a whistlestop tour of what makes up the universe, how we see or sense it, and what remains to be discovered.

Behind every star and constellation is a story. Ever since human beings were able to articulate the world around them, they gazed up towards the stars and crafted myths, stories and legends about the night sky.
Every creation story has an origin for the stars, sun and moon!
Whether it's telling stories about the night or telling stories in the dark, it is a fundamental element of our cultural history, one which is shared the world over.
Listen to folk tales and stories inspired by the night sky.
