Gas-giants, Super-Earths and Neptunian planets are out there. More than we can possibly imagine. With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scientists are peering back to the very beginning of the Universe. Along the way we are finding planets which appear very similar to our home.
Join Dr. Ruth Angus, Assistant Curator of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History (New York), who will be beaming in for this compelling talk on these mysterious new planets.
The creative response for this Science Club is co-presented by curious directive and the City of London Sinfonia.

Through the kitchen window, there’s a bird resting on a branch. It’s cold outside. But this bird is full of life and song. You wonder what species of bird it might be? You try to google it, but when you look up, it’s gone.
Birdwatching connects us with the sky.
Join us in welcoming Sue Bryan to curious directive. Sue travels the world to observe birds and works part-time at Titchwell Marsh for the RSPB. Sue will bring with her equipment and share an introduction to this calm, thoughtful pastime.
