Students had a packed day as they visited Newcastle University to learn all about space!
Their first stop was at the Hancock Museum's Planetarium, where students watched a film designed to make astronomy accessible to those with visual impairments. This was achieved by matching specific sounds to the images of the galaxy shown.
Students then enjoyed a lecture from a Marine Biology professor who is studying organisms from the deepest parts of our ocean. This was followed by a lecture on the James Webb telescope by a world-leading Physics professor.
The day was rounded off with a talk from PhD students on their research into areas such as Galaxy Evolution and Dark Matter.
