Description

Space exploration has never been greater than in the last four years. The Artemis Mission to the Moon, the Exploration of Mars and the James Webb Telescope images, are all revealing so many new discoveries. In this brand-new study day for 2023, your tutor, Ann Mills FRAS, will share the most up-to-date information from each of these missions,

How soon will we return to the Moon?

What are the Mars Rovers telling us about the past of our close neighbour in the Solar System and is it relevant to our future on Earth?

Will the James Webb Telescope images take us back closer to the Big Bang?

All of these questions will be explored through stunning images from NASA and ESA. The Study Day is suitable for beginners.
