In this talk, Jo will take you into the centre of the Sun and highlight the amazing properties that our nearest Star possesses. We will investigate how it came to be, how its immense gravitational field controls all around it, some of its mysteries and what will happen to it (and us!) when it reaches its eventual demise. A fascinating talk concluded with some fantastic astrophotography images of the Sun taken by Pete Richardson from right here in Somerset.

""The Our Place in Space Hands-On Science Workshop was expertly delivered; information was clear and knowledge was built upon as the workshop progressed. The children were entirely engaged through well-thought out demonstrations and interactive activities. Understanding space and the solar system was made accessible to all - even the teachers! This workshop was superb and a must when learning about space!""

"We arranged for Space Detectives to visit our son’s school and show the amazing VR experience to the Year 1 and 2 students. I asked my son if the class enjoyed the sessions, he told me they LOVED IT and then start telling me lots of amazing spaces facts! Great experience and highly recommended"
