The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Solar System

Venture into the fascinating world of planetary science and learn about the formation and history of our Solar System. Hold and study real pieces of Mars, 4.5 billion year old meteorites, and even bits of the Moon collected by the Apollo astronauts! You can take part in a meteorite impacting experiment, plan your own space mission, see how volcanic eruptions reshape the surface of a planet, and watch a comet being created right in front of you. While you’re at it, why not have a chat about your discoveries with some of the scientists currently working in planetary sciences? Venture into the world of planetary sciences and learn about our Solar System. Hold real pieces of Mars, meteorites, and even the Moon! Part of Manchester Science Festival.
