Far Frontiers

The excitement generated when science probes the most remote and hostile environments or embarks upon answering the most fundamental questions is a major factor in attracting the interest of the public, particularly younger generations. Europe’s Rosetta mission is the latest source of inspiration.  This theme will take us to the physical and intellectual frontiers of knowledge. The programme will explore exoplanets and astrobiology, dark matter, next generation particle physics, oceans science, astrophysics, next generation astronomy, extreme environments, weather and the atmosphere, space matters, geo-engineering and high resolution microscopy.  Cover Image (c): NASA
