Science Week at Nonsuch

Get out your planner... 

Book in Friday 1.05pm on the 21st March for a keynote speech from Dr. Nick Achilleos from the UCL Centre for Planetary Sciences. He has been working on the Cassini probe around Saturn and is currently designing a mission to Ganymede - the largest moon in the Solar System orbiting Jupiter every seven days.
