Astronomy Presenter, Hedley Stirrat joins Carter Observatory on Saturday 14 June to lead a live tour of the Solar System in Life in Space. <\/p>\n
The bespoke live guided tour of the Solar System will include the possibilities of life in space, the Habitable Zone and what characteristics a planet needs to support life. Speaking about the event, Hedley Stirrat says, \"The Life in Space tour will be covered in three sections. Part one will cover the questions of life itself - what chemical ingredients and environments does biology require, and is it inevitable if these conditions are met? Looking at the Solar System, we'll explore the planets and moons that have shown the most promise for life, such as Mars and Europa. We'll also touch on some of the techniques that are being used to discover potentially habitable planets and moons outside our solar system. Finally, we'll look outward at the universe itself: does its incredible vastness say anything about the probability of extra-terrestrial life?\" <\/p>\n
With three different showings at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm, people will experience one of Carters latest planetarium shows, followed by an exclusive tour of the Solar System in the Planetarium. After the tour, people will have the opportunity to look through the historic and impressive Thomas Cooke Telescope with a Carter Observatory Astronomer (weather depending). <\/p>\n
