Optional Add-On Talk:  Alien Oceans - £3.50 per person

From hidden oceans on icy moons to distant exoplanets, water has long guided our search for life in the universe. But new discoveries are challenging this long-held assumption, raising an extraordinary question: could life exist without water?

Join astronomers Xian Parr and Kieran Petrie as they explore ocean worlds across the Solar System and beyond, before diving into the latest research that's reshaping our understanding of where life might exist. Could living worlds thrive without water? And if so, what might they look like?
