Sixth Form Evening Lectures – Quick Booking

Lecture 6 – Comets

Our solar system is a treasure trove of objects, but the most interesting may be the comet. While it is smaller than the average city, it can leave trails and tails that span from one planet to the next, all because it is made of dust and ice. Within this lecture we will explore comets using cutting edge measurements made by spacecraft and link their findings to the origin of life itself. We will look into the future of space exploration and even outside of our own solar system.
