Faster Than Light: A 3D Journey Through the Universe
Discursive programme

Step into the fascinating world of space through an interactive lecture based on the revolutionary Deep Space installation. We will travel through space and time faster than light – from the surface of the Moon and Mars to exoplanets, black holes, and the very centre of the Milky Way. Through spectacular 3D visualizations, simulations, and stories about the Voyager missions, the ISS, and the latest discoveries, you will explore the universe from a completely new perspective.
