To explain how NASA achieved this, Robin Mobbs, a Lead Educator for the National Space Academy, will be giving a fascinating ‘behind the scenes’ talk about this ground-breaking mission.
Before and after the talk, there will be viewing of the night sky through our historic telescopes (weather permitting).

The talk will take place at 7.30pm
Cost: Normal admission price and no advance booking necessary
