The Amazing Cosmos Journey! Robert Hill, ESA and Director of the Northern Ireland (NI) Space Office
10am: Primary Level
Robert Hill will take us on an exciting virtual journey through the Amazing Cosmos!!
As we look to the night sky we imagine what lies beyond our protective blanket of the atmosphere. We sometimes glimpse visitors from beyond as shooting stars as they burn up in the atmosphere above. We may witness the night sky light up in a cosmic dance with the beautiful Northern Lights. There is even the possibility to gaze upon ancient distant travellers as comets as they pass by us on their own journey around our star, The Sun. Through telescopes we gaze out into the universe and travel through space and time. Our scientific endeavours and exploration of space have uncovered incredible vistas and secrets yet to be explained.
This very visual presentation will highlight some of the amazing discoveries we have made about our own Solar System and out into interstellar space and the universe beyond
