The Universe Explained (Live)

A billion light-years away and back
What’s new with the Artemis program? Have we built a Moon base yet? What are the JWST and the Vera Rubin Observatory revealing about the farthest reaches of space? How is new technology changing astronomy?
In The Universe Explained (Live), you’ll dive deep into the latest space news and discoveries with an Adler presenter as your guide.
Then, your presenter will take you on a faster-than-light-speed journey, a billion light-years away and back. You’ll fly by the planets you know, meet a few new ones, explore the dizzying array of galaxies far beyond our own, and make your way back to Earth in 15 breathtaking minutes.
