Events

Over four sessions, delivered weekly online, we will explore our place in space and our solar neighbours. We’ll investigate the eloquent serendipity of the Earth, Moon, Sun system, visit each of the planets, and learn about the space exploration.

Week four will coincide with the total lunar eclipse on Wednesday 26 May – make sure you join to hear from Scienceworks’ astronomer Dr Tanya Hill who will explain how a total lunar eclipse occurs and give you tips for viewing it later in the evening.
