Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth? Tour
Are we on the brink of finding signs of life beyond Earth? Discover why scientists are more optimistic than ever that conditions for life could exist beyond our planet. In this special out-of-hours tour, you’ll explore our amazing planet, the possibilities of life on Mars and much more.
Are we alone in the universe?
Over 45 minutes, discover why scientists are now more confident than ever that life could exist beyond Earth. Learn what enabled life to arise on our planet, see evidence of ancient life and discover how this helps inform our search for life in space.
We’ll reveal what asteroids have to do with life’s origins, why scientists are looking at Mars’ ancient past and how life might exist on icy worlds.
Plus, we’ll explore the places on Earth that are surprisingly similar to places in space. You’ll have the opportunity to touch a piece of the Moon, feel the surface of Mars and see a meteorite that’s as old as our solar system.
Tour tickets include entry to the exhibition, which means once the tour is over you can explore it further and try out the interactives, games and immersive experiences.
