The Moon Under the Microscope
Wednesday 4 June, 6-7pm, with fun activities afterwards)
Physics Building Lecture Room B1, University Park, University of Nottingham
Join scientists from the University of Nottingham for an evening of curiosity, wonder, and lunar fascination at The Moon Under the Microscope — a family-friendly night of mini moon talks that bring space science down to Earth.
Hosted by Dr Emma Chapman and Dr Luke Norman, this engaging event explores humanity’s relationship with the Moon through lively talks, hands-on displays, and interactive activities.
We’ll journey from the incredible engineering behind the Apollo missions to the psychology of why some people believe they never happened.
After the talks, head to the foyer for hands-on science with our Lunar Discovery Zone. Get up close with meteorite samples under the microscope, take part in tabletop activities, and spark your curiosity about our nearest celestial neighbour.
This FREE event is perfect for families, young scientists, and anyone who’s ever looked up at the Moon and wondered.
