Families who go along to Kendal library next month will be able to join the jet-set.
Children's science author Stuart Atkinson is holding a special lecture on all things galactic on Thursday 15 March as part of events to mark this year's National Science and Engineering Week (9-18 March).
The event, which starts at 7:00pm, will take families into the future on a journey around our solar system. The inter-stellar voyage will take in Mars - a world with a volcano bigger than France and three times higher than Everest - and Jupiter, where raging hurricanes buffet an atmosphere three times bigger than Earth's.
Admission is free and refreshments will be provided. Tickets are available from Kendal Library which can be contacted on: 01539-773520.
