Space rocks: meteorites and asteroids
Registration required - please register for this event by filling out this form.
In late 2020 NASA collected some material from the surface of an asteroid which is thought to be one of the oldest bodies in our Solar System. Come and find out when, why, and how, and find out a little more about how we can use rocks already delivered to Earth from space to learn even more.

Taking a planet's temperature
Registration required - please register for this event by filling out this form.
Measuring the temperature of a planet can give us a lot of information about the materials on its surface. Come and find out more about how we use the infrared to take the temperature of different planets, asteroids, and the Moon to find out what rocks are there.

Is there water on the Moon?
Registration required - please register for this event by filling out this form.
Oxford University is teaming up with NASA to send a mission called Lunar Trailblazer to orbit the Moon to search for water. Come and find out why and where we think water might be on the Moon.
