We're trying to answer one of life's biggest questions - could there be life out there? With only a couple of months left of our exhibition Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth? time is running out to discover what we know. There’s more evidence than ever before to suggest that life could exist elsewhere in the universe, so come along to find out everything scientists know so far. Don’t miss your chance to smell other planets, to touch Mars and the Moon, to design your own space mission and to discover what scientists think extraterrestrials might look like before our mission ends on Sunday 22 February 2026.
