What can our celestial neighbours tell us about life on Earth?
Space is positively buzzing with comets and asteroids but what might they reveal about how life on our planet first began?
As scientists from the European Space Agency prepare to deploy the Philae lander carried by the Rosetta probe onto comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko in November 2014, after a ten-year mission, Science Oxford boldly goes where no-one has gone before: Comet Surfing!
Join us for a fascinating panel discussion with planetary physicists Jo Barstow and Pat Irwin and atmospheric physicist Hanna Sykulska-Lawrence.
With footage from the Rosetta Probe, mind-boggling space facts and even a live dry-ice comet, this should be an evening to remember.
