This year, Nature celebrates its 150th birthday. To mark this anniversary we’re rebroadcasting episodes from our Pastcast series, bringing to life key moments in the history of science. As the First World War draws to an end, astronomer Arthur Eddington sets out on a challenging mission: to prove Einstein’s new theory of general relativity by measuring a total eclipse. The experiment became a defining example of how science should be done. This episode was first broadcast in March 2014.

This week, the parenting strategies of a tropical cuckoo, increasing the number of topological materials, and growing cannabinoids in yeast.
This week, mapping every cell in a mouse embryo and the benefits of cataloguing all the viruses on Earth.
This week, the links between atherosclerosis and sleep-deprivation, and how team size affects research outputs.
This week, virtual drug discovery, and a new addition to the CRISPR toolkit.
This week, the female chemists who helped build the periodic table, and harnessing the extra energy in Wi-Fi signals.
This week, the effects of recessions on public health, and simulating supermassive black holes.
