2021 Year of Space lecture series
The Geology of Other Planets - A geological journey through our solar system and beyond
Take a journey through the wonders of our solar system with a team of expert planetary geologists and scientists!
You may want to explore the origins of our solar system, or take a virtual trip to the asteroid belt; maybe you’ll join us to learn about volcanoes on Mercury, drive across the surface of Mars with the NASA rovers and discover more about the planets right at the very edge of our solar system.
This lecture series will take you on a journey all the way from Mercury to Pluto and beyond, and show you how geologists here on Earth can examine rocks from space and the Earth itself to unpick the mysteries of our Solar System. Book your place using the links below!
All lectures will be available both live and recorded on our YouTube channel.
