Space Call | A conversation with SpaceAustralia's Rami Mandow
Event description
As the month-long lockdown was announced in Sydney, Rami Mandow put out a tweet offering to chat about space to the young people stuck at home. So we reached out and asked whether he'd be interested in also chatting to the young at heart!
Join us for a conversation with Rami, where he will take us for an adventure around the galaxy, and look at some of the marvels of the cosmos, including where stars are born, supermassive black holes, and the wonderful planets in our own astronomical backyard.
There will be plenty of time to ask questions and everyone is welcome.
