17.00 - 18.00

Meet an astronaut from the European Space Agency (ESA) - UK astronaut, Meganne Christian will be at the National STEM Centre sharing stories of the astronaut training at ESA.

Ask an Astronaut - find out from Meganne what you have always wanted to know about space and the missions on the horizon!

18.00 - 20.00

We’re delighted to be one of the livestream venues - for this year’s CHRISTMAS LECTURES from the Royal Institution. Running for 200 years, the CHRISTMAS LECTURES are designed to inspire and engage young people with science, and this year leading space scientist Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock takes us on an epic voyage through time and space.

This event is restricted to young people (aged 11 and above), and their families - come and watch the magic of the Lectures unfold in real time as they’re filmed in front of an audience in the Ri’s Theatre in London.

In this livestream Lecture, you will be taken on a whirlwind tour through our Solar System - from the blazing Sun to the edge of the ‘heliosphere’ where space becomes interstellar. Dame Maggie delves into historic and current missions to planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the gas giants, highlighting the growing evidence that moons such as Europa and Titan may harbour conditions suitable for life.

Dame Maggie also celebrates landmark space missions - such as the Voyager probes, and explores the evolution of our understanding of planetary science. The discoveries made along this cosmic journey underscore how much we have learned—and how much remains to be discovered.
