Lost in Wonder - Tuesday 12 November 2024
We have looked up at the moon and the stars in wonder since the dawn of civilisation. In the last 120 years, humankind has advanced from the first powered flight, to landing on the moon, and now you can even buy a ticket to space, if you can afford it.
Developments in science and technology mean that the wonders of the natural world have never been better understood. But despite all our scientific understanding are we any closer to knowing what any of it means? Join us for an immersive evening of sights and sounds under The Moon reflecting on wonder and the search for meaning.
