The Rosetta spacecraft is now in a sort of ‘orbit’ round Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko, sending back some jawdropping photos. After studying the ‘binary’ surface in more detail, it will land a probe on the surface.
This talk by Ireland’s leading science broadcaster and journalist, will reveal the latest findings from the fantastic Rosetta spacecraft at Comet C-G. As you can see from some of the images at NASA Science here…, the comet is weird – absolutely unlike anything we’ve seen before. And Leo usually updates his talk from the Internet just about 10 minutes before he’s due to start, freexxx4u.com so it will be the VERY latest information. Not to be missed!
The lecture is free and open to all, including free refreshments. Venue: the Bell Lecture Theatre, Physics Building, Queen’s University, Belfast, at 7.30 p.m.
