Wednesday 14 October, 12.30pm – 1.30pm

Kerrie Dougherty, Curator, Space Technology, Powerhouse Museum

In the past 50 years, the data and images returned by robotic spacecraft exploring the planets have revolutionised our knowledge of our Solar System. In this talk, Kerrie Dougherty will look at how our understanding of the Solar System has changed over time and how findings on other worlds have helped us to understand more about our own planet as well. Presented as part of World Space Week.
