If you thought Earth was the only body in our solar system worth visiting, think again!<a href="https://pubsci.info/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PubSci</a> is delighted to welcome D﻿r Stuart Eves, founder of SJE Space, to take us on a tour through the breathtaking wonders of the Solar System.From the first Soviet lunar probe, Luna 1, through NASA’s Mariner and Voyager missions, to the international James Webb Space Telescope, humans have been imaging the planetary bodies of our solar system and their moons in ever-increasing detail.But if you could hitch a ride on this space hardware, what would you see?Instead of the barren bodies we once supposed, objects in our solar system have revealed themselves to possess stunning features reminiscent of those that make our home planet so beautiful and awe inspiring, only far, far larger: volcanoes, dust devils, geysers, liquid and frozen oceans, unexpected seasonal features… perhaps evidence of life too.Even little Pluto turns out to be more interesting than anybody thought possible.Join Stuart for an interplanetary travellers’ guide to some of the most fascinating, beautiful, and compelling sights that any tourist could wish to see when visiting our star system.

Join us upstairs at the Old King’s Head for an extraordinary evening of discovery and wonder. Doors open at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Ticket info at the bottom of this page.Talks run for ~45 minutes and are followed by a Q&amp;A session. The Old King's Head has a happy hour before 7, and the kitchen serves excellent pub grub. The nearest tube is London Bridge (Borough High Street exit). [﻿Continues below]
