Astronomy for Grown-Ups: Voyage to Mercury
Advertisement
Wednesday, November 4 — Voyage to Mercury
After a years-long journey through the Solar System, BepiColombo, the European Space Agency’s three-module spacecraft, is set to enter orbit around Mercury. The smallest planet in the Solar System may not seem particularly charismatic at first glance—it looks a bit like a larger version of the Moon—but Mercury holds clues that can’t be found anywhere else. This month, take a close look at BepiColombo’s complex mission and discover what scientists hope to learn about this surprisingly fascinating world.
Recommended for ages 18+; 60-minute show plus Q&A. Advance ticket purchase is encouraged.
