SPACE - SO WHAT? An exciting, hands-on seminar exploring how our everyday lives have been transformed by the discoveries of astronomers and journeys into space by Anu Ojha, Director of Education & Space Communications, National Space Centre Friday 22 January 2010 6.30pm, The Great Hall, The Palace 2009 marked the International Year of Astronomy and the 40th anniversary of humanity's first step on the moon. In the four centuries since Galileo's original telescopic observations, our understanding of the Universe and our place in it has been transformed by the discoveries of astronomers and our sojourns beyond the atmosphere of our home world. What difference has this made to our everyday lives, the ways in which we see ourselves as a species, and our perspectives on our future evolution and perhaps survival itself? * Includes the spectacular experiment to Build a Comet in a Bucket! *
