Meet the Neighbours: A Cosmic Christmas Voyage
Join astronomer Howard Parkin MBE for another Manx National Heritage special Christmas lecture exploring the incredible story of space exploration and the spacecraft that have travelled through our solar system.
From Mercury to Neptune and beyond, find out how we have managed to send spacecraft to every planet, what they discovered when they arrived and how these missions have changed our understanding of the planets around us. Howard will bring the story of space exploration to life, including at least two Manx links and sharing some of the most fascinating discoveries, surprising facts, and remarkable achievements from decades of missions to our cosmic neighbours.
The lecture will include exciting details of happenings at Mercury on this very date!
Howard is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, Vice-Chairman of the IOM Astronomical Society, the IOM Advocate of DarkSky International, an author, and founder of AstroManx.
Come along for an afternoon of space, science, and discovery, and meet the neighbours in our cosmic backyard.
