Stardust Hunters (11am, 12:30pm, 1:45pm):
Every year, approx. 3,000 tons of cosmic dust falls to the surface of the Earth – these extraterrestrial particles which survive the journey through the atmosphere to land on the Earth are known as micrometeorites. Join us on the hunt for these particles and help scientists learn about our early Solar System

With the team at Swansea University, take control of the Faulkes Telescope in Hawaii and observe the universe in real-time!
