From the Earth’s closest neighbour in space, our Moon, to the moons of the distant gas giants, this show explores our Solar System’s many natural satellites. Narrated by our Royal Observatory astronomers, you will discover more about the wide range of shapes and sizes that these moons have, as well as features such as enormous craters, active volcanos and even underground oceans.

Recommended ages 7+. Under-5s will not be admitted – Ted's Space Adventure is suitable for younger children.
