Horrible Science: Cosmic Chaos at Science and Industry Museum

Blast off into the Solar System on a visit to Horrible Science: Cosmic Chaos, an out-of-this-world premiere exhibition at the Science and Industry Museum.

Embark on a cosmic adventure guided by familiar characters from the brand-new BBC Horrible Science TV series.

Journey through the depths of space to uncover the secrets of our universe. What does a star smell like? How do astronauts eat, sleep, work and train their bodies? What really happens if you need the loo in space?

Prepare for surprising science, interactive experiments and playful challenges on this high-energy voyage through space.

Get ready to:

• Meet the moon, launch a rocket and discover the power of gravity

• See a space toilet used by astronauts on the Soyuz-Mir spacecraft and touch a real piece of the Moon that fell to Earth as a meteorite
• Programme an interplanetary rover, test your balance on a moonquake and see if you can survive a black hole
• See astronaut Tim Peake’s headset from his 2015 space mission on public display for the first time
• Get sucked through a wormhole and rummage through a giant space rubbish dump
• Experience the extreme temperature swings on Mercury and see how strong you are on different planets
• Walk in the shoes of astronauts and discover far-off worlds, dance on an alien disco planet

Please note: The exhibition will also be open to other groups and general visitors.
