Come to UCL and celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009:

    * Learn about how UCL scientists are contributing to the advancement of our knowledge of the Universe, from extra-solar planets to   the mystery behind dark energy.
    * Visit Stars r'us, an interactive exhibit to show how stars are born, live and die.
    * Admire the magic planet, a spherical projection able to reproduce any planet or star with all its motions, colours and landscapes.
    * Play God by building the Universe from the big bang to our days, along our 14 metre long time line.
    * Talk to our young scientists who are studying the newly discovered planets around distant stars.
    * Hold in your hands rocks older than our own planet.
    * Build a scale model of the solar system.
    * Attend our series of popular lectures which will be running everyday in the majestic Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre.
    * Use some of our telescopes to look at the sun and the planet venus (weather permitting).
    * Find out about our certificate in astronomy, an evening course for the non-specialist.

All events are free of charge on a first come first served basis.
