Coming up
Dig Deeper: Scientific Surprises and Accidental Discoveries
Expect the unexpected when you join us for this stellar evening as we speak to our experts to uncover the marvels of science on Earth and beyond.
Science has been a constant source of wonder and the more than 80 million specimens and objects we care for are no exception. The collections we look after are always growing, and our experts published more than 700 papers between 2022 and 2023, revealing plenty of exciting surprises.
We’ve stumbled across lots of secrets while observing other things, and we’re going to share these secrets with you. Each of our four scientists have chosen a specimen that shocked and amazed them and will tell you their unusual stories.
They’ll take turns sitting in the hot seat being interviewed by BBC Sky at Night presenter and astrophysics expert Professor Chris Lintott, but not before you – our audience – try to guess what on earth our scientists have bought with them.
