In this out-of-this-world experience, we’re taking you on a virtual journey from our solar system out to distant exoplanets, and all the way home to Planet Earth!Through hands-on exhibits, VR experiences, and creative activities, we’ll explore how local scientists learn about the climates of distant planets, and the extreme worlds they’ve discovered so far. Brace yourself for rains of glass, lava landscapes, and giant dust storms: living on Earth is like a walk in the park compared to life on these exoplanets!What to Expect:Interactive & hands-on: Explore local astrophysics research and climate models through accessible, interactive activities designed for all ages.Friendly facilitators: Our team and volunteer mediators are on hand to chat.Self-guided experience: Explore at your own pace!Visiting Information:Location: Unit 9, Green Lanes Shopping Centre, Barnstaple.Duration: Plan for your visit to last at least 45 minutes (though many visitors stay much longer)!Ages: The exhibition is for all ages!
