🚀Is living and working on Mars realistic? Could we go there in our lifetime? Join @LucindaLand and Guests tonight at 6 to discuss and debate living and working on Mars and meet the people who are trying to make this a reality. #NAW2020 eventbrite.co.uk/e/naw2020-huma…

It's the last day of @NatAstroWeek! Join @LucindaLand for tonight's discussion about whether humans could live on Mars and when we might see the first human mission to the red planet. Book your free tickets here: astronomyweek.org.uk/mars-events/vi…

🔭Have you taken some out-of-this world pictures during #NAW2020? We'd love to see them! 🌙Upload your photos of Mars and more to our website to share them with the public astronomyweek.org.uk/upload-mars-im…

It's #NAW2020, focusing on Mars. Johannes Kepler analysed Tycho Brahe's observations of Mars, and discovered that the orbit is an ellipse, one of the laws of planetary motion which he published in in Astronomia Nova (1609).

Did you watch The Martian 🧑🏼‍🚀🚀🔴 last night? Are you ready to hear about a future with humans on Mars? Register to come to our last and probably most asked questions through NAW - when will humans go to Mars and how will they live? eventbrite.co.uk/e/naw2020-huma…

Well done! We love it when this happens. 😊
