Join Elliott to find out more about what’s happening with our teams; why do we do what we do, and why are we passionate about it; what’s changing at the Centre and what’s going on behind the scenes.
We're really excited for you to get to know the National Space Centre better and to bring you closer to the work we do here! Space may be very far away for the vast majority of us; but starting from now, the National Space Centre will be closer than ever before.
During our Solar System Summer, we’ve had a go at making glow-in-the-dark bracelets, cooked up some comets, gone on a journey through the solar system and seen some real-life meteorites up close. But how do we come up with ideas for our school holiday activities?
Would you believe me if I told you that “busking” is a crucial part of our Discovery team’s workday? I decided to sit down with three members of our Discovery team to find out more about their busking habits, what it is, and why it is such an exciting part of any visit to the National Space Centre.
There is nothing like starting your day with a good quality coffee, and as I write this my mind is already starting to think about that second magical cup of ‘go juice’. Did you know that our coffee beans come from less than 15 miles from our front door?
Every day the National Space Centre teams are looking at changes we can make to help save our planet. This month we have started working with Swithland Water, who are another local company we are happy to partner with to cut down our carbon footprint, but also to support local independent suppliers.
Since we opened in 2001, we’ve made it our mission to help people learn about space and to understand our place in the universe better. But what about this place; our ‘home planet’? What are we doing to help keep this blue marble we find ourselves living on happy and healthy? And how can we help other people to do similar?
What do we mean when we say “Space For Everyone”, and why are we trying to get people excited about it?
