Café Scientifique with Dr Zita Martins
The night sky is filled with countless unexplored places, but as we send probes and missions into space, what are we looking for? What is left to discover within our current technological reach? Dr Zita Martins, a space scientist hunting for signs of organic matter in space, will guide us through the unexplored regions of our solar system, answering these, and many more, questions along the way.
