Join Elliott to find out more about what’s happening with our teams; why do we do what we do, and why are we passionate about it; what’s changing at the Centre and what’s going on behind the scenes.
We're really excited for you to get to know the National Space Centre better and to bring you closer to the work we do here! Space may be very far away for the vast majority of us; but starting from now, the National Space Centre will be closer than ever before.
Whilst summer is not quite over just yet, the start of a new term has a habit of creeping up. For this Our Space, we have come up with suggestions for the perfect National Space Centre back-to-school starter kit for your child, to help your child have a cosmic first day of term.
Since leaving the Centre in 2002, one former member of our original Space Crew has built an impressive career in space science. For this Our Space, I was lucky enough to sit and chat with James Carpenter and find out how he became the Head of the Lunar Science Office at the European Space Agency.
This summer we are not only celebrating our 25th birthday, but we have also just reopened our much-loved Our Solar System gallery with an amazing brand-new experience called Outer Solar System. And just when you thought that was enough, we went one step further by bringing dinosaurs into the mix.
Among our visitors is a family who have gone above and beyond to support our charity. As we celebrate our 25th birthday today, I want to shine a light on Sarah, Karl and their daughter Isabella, for whom the National Space Centre has become a huge part of their own journey.
On 30 June, we will be celebrating our 25th birthday. We have got a fantastic line-up of activities planned; not just for the big day, but throughout our anniversary year. So, for this Our Space, I have created a guide to help you get involved and make the most of our birthday celebrations.
In the spirit of Father’s Day, I gathered a few of the “Dads of the National Space Centre” and took a trip to our Shop. The mission? To explore gift ideas that suit every kind of dad, from the sweet-toothed to the sentimental, and everything in between.
Thanks to the support of the Randal Foundation, our Community team are empowered to deliver their work with young people throughout Leicester. I had the pleasure to speak to the Dr Kotecha OBE DL, the Founder and Chairman of the Randal Foundation, to find out why our values align so perfectly.
Cosmic Emo is a night filled with Emo anthems, live music and good times. For this Our Space, I find out more about the night, what to expect, why this music is so special, and why it was never just a phase.
Thanks to generous funding from the Institute of Physics, we are absolutely delighted to bring back STEAM Powered: a three-day workshop designed specifically for children with autism and their families. For this Our Space, I am going to tell you how you can apply and share more about the programme.
For this year's Mother's day, mum and daughter duo Katie and Lisa joined me in our Shop to pick out their perfect gifts for one another. I really should have known what I was getting myself into...
