Join astronomer Tom Kerss for a fun, fact-filled, interactive talk about our incredible home planet Earth. Discover what makes it so special, and how astronomers may be close to finding other worlds like it elsewhere in the Milky Way. Could there be alien life in our Solar System or beyond? Are we the aliens? Find out how Spaceship Earth makes life possible, protects us from dangers in space, and gives us the opportunity to study the stars and unlock their secrets!
This event is for children 6+ and will be held under artist Luke Jerram's stunning Gaia installation.
