  • Hunting for Comets!“, target age 8-12 years. Led by Silvia Casu and Alessia Zurru (Cultural Association Science Lab)

What are comets? And what are they made of? Why do they have two different tails? Do they really bring bad luck? Comets may be minor bodies of the Solar System, but they have always sparked great interest. An interest so strong that it led to a long space mission dedicated to their study. Through videos, images, small exhibits, and some experiments, we discover the nature of comets.
