About this Event

MORE DETAILS COMING SOON....


Cosmic Nights: The Search for Life (with SETI) will feature talks, shows, and crafts that you can enjoy with us at the Space Centre.

Join our programmer, Michael Unger, astronomer Rosanna Tilbrook, and featured experts from SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) for an in-depth look at the search for life beyond Earth.

Discover how SETI has become a cutting-edge, multidisciplinary effortβ€”from scanning for alien signals to exploring thousands of exoplanets. Our featured expert will share two major projects they are involved in: the global citizen science effort of the Unistellar Network and the Laser SETI program for catching fast optical flashes. Learn how new tools like AI and the SkyMapper network are transforming the field and bringing us closer than ever to answering the profound question: Are we alone?

For 19+ adults only.
