Speakers will be discussing the most up-to-date news on current missions and research investigating habitable planets and sharing the most exciting and interesting areas to engage audiences on this fascinating topic.

We’ll also be delving into the latest developments in planetary defence, including current research and what the future looks like in this area. Don’t miss this extra special space community call!

This exciting online event is during British Science Week, and this year’s theme is “Curiosity – what’s your question” so please do come along and ask your questions about the latest developments in planetary defence, the search for habitable planets, big telescopes and future missions.

ASDC have been hosting a series of online Space Community Calls with funding by UK Space Agency since January 2024 with contributions from colleagues at NASA, ESA, UKSA, the Astronomer Royal of Scotland and more. These events aim to equip our public engagement community with up-to-date, exciting space science content to share with their audiences. The attendees are a mix of science communicators and enthusiasts who come from a broad mix of organisations including science centres, museums, outreach organisations, community groups, and astronomy and planetarium societies, as well as researchers, PHD students and STEM ambassadors, who all share the same goal of inspiring and engaging audiences with STEM in fun and diverse ways.
