Closest to the Sun: Arriving at Mercury
Advertisement
Mercury is the least-visited planet in the inner solar system, and a joint European-Japanese mission is about to change that. Learn why getting there is so hard, what BepiColombo hopes to find, and why the smallest planet is so strange. The mission has spent years looping through the inner solar system to slow down enough to be captured, and it’s about to split into two orbiters. The class falls just before the planned orbit insertion.
Class level: Introductory - This class is recommended for guests of any background.
Tickets:
Non-members $25/class
