Humankind has been watching the skies for thousands of years. These early sky watchers noticed that not all objects in the night sky moved the same. In fact, a small number of them ‘wandered’ through the heavens. Come on a voyage with popular astronomers Paul Curnow & Martin Lewicki as they take you on a visual journey through the planets. Learn about how to find these planets in the sky, when you can see them in addition to how these planets orbit the Sun and the spacecraft and landers that have visited them. Moreover, learn about the mythology behind their names and their atmospheres and surfaces.
*This event is for audiences 16 years and above.
