Fantastic Planets and How to Find Them

Speakers: Emily Brunsden and Chris Stewart

Imagine basking in the warmth of three suns in the sky, or exploring lush crimson jungles, or waking up on a planet where night never ends. Science fiction is becoming reality as astronomers uncover thousands of incredible worlds in our galaxy.

But how do we detect these planets and how do we know what they are like? And what we are still searching for among the stars? Join astrophysicist Emily Brunsden and science communicator Chris Stewart for an ‘out of this world’ talk featuring musical interludes.

Come along and enjoy an amazing journey beyond our solar system.
