Stars Below Our Feet and Jewels from Mud

Some of the biggest discoveries in astronomy happen deep underground. We see how nuclear facilities buried beneath the Earth’s surface allow scientists to recreate and measure the reactions that power stars, helping us understand stellar cores billions of lightyears away. We'll also look at how pressure, temperature and time transform humble clays into glittering crystals and how their formation is often linked to the creation of vast geological structures. From stellar furnaces to deep Earth processes, join us for an evening of transformation at every scale.
