About Astronomy Talks – The Gas Giant Planets
on
at Friarage Theatre in Yarm
Tue 27 Jan 2026 @ 7:00pm - 9:00pm
at Friarage Theatre in Yarm
In this talk we describe the giant planets of the solar system – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Very different from the rocky innermost planets being composed of mostly gas, liquid and ice.
We will discuss past, present and future space missions that have shown these planets in amazing detail. We will also look at their various families of moons – Jupiter now has 95! A veritable mini solar system in its own right.
No talk about the gas giants would be complete without discussing one of the most successful space missions of all time – the Cassini probe to Saturn – extraordinary details in its rings and moons were revealed.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A LIVE IN PERSON PRODUCTION HELD IN OUR FRIARAGE THEATRE.
If you require wheelchair access seating, then please contact the Box Office as we allocate a specific seating area for this.
