The Royal Australian Mint has teamed up with the Australian National University Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics to officially launch a new product and discuss intriguing questions like: Can humans really survive in space? Is there life elsewhere in our Solar System?

These are just two of the questions that will be explored in a fascinating night of space exploration.

  • Associate Professor Charley Lineweaver, a world expert in cosmology, planets and aliens – Is there life elsewhere in our Solar System?

There will be time for a Q&A session at the end of the speaker sessions.
