Science Lates: Deep Dive is almost here!

Adults... this is your chance to come and explore the science centre after hours! Wet suit optional. 🤿

📅 Friday, 18 September 6-10.30pm

Here's what you're waiting for:

🐙 Play with all the interactive science exhibits across the 3 huge floors of the science mall. Expert demonstrations and drop-in experiences where you can dive into hands-on challenges inspired by real marine missions. Decipher underwater sounds, study alien creatures of the deep, navigate waves without modern tech and come face to face with the crushing pressure of the abyss. Mouthwatering food and cool, tasty drinks available all night.

===+++===

🪼 Add on our 'Alien Oceans' talk in the Planetarium and join astronomers Xian Parr and Kieran Petrie as they explore ocean worlds across the Solar System and beyond, before diving into the latest research that's reshaping our understanding of where life might exist. Could living worlds thrive without water? And if so, what might they look like?

===+++===

🌒 Last night's partial solar eclipse may have been hiding behind the clouds, but we weren't giving up that easily!

With colanders at the ready and pinhole cameras fashioned from cereal boxes, we found some creative ways to safely watch the moon pass in front of the sun.

And our very own Steve Owens, Head of Operations, also made an appearance on BBC Reporting Scotland from Whitelee Wind Farm to talk all things eclipse.

📺 You can watch the coverage on BBC iPlayer from 04:30-06:30: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00308qr/reporting-scotland-evening-news-12082026

🌒 Tonight, Wednesday 12 August, the Moon will move between Earth and the Sun, causing a partial solar eclipse and briefly blocking out much of the Sun’s light.

While it won’t be a total eclipse, some parts of the west coast could see around 90% of the Sun obscured. For the best chance of seeing it, find somewhere with a clear view of the western horizon.

In Glasgow, the “first contact” is expected at around 6.08pm with the peak at 7.05pm and the end of the eclipse at 8pm.

Miss this one and you’ll have a long wait - the next solar eclipse visible from Scotland won’t happen for another 64 years.

⚠️ Remember: Never look directly at the Sun. Instead, use certified eclipse glasses or a simple pinhole projector to enjoy the event safely.

Please note that we do not have solar eclipse viewing glasses available to purchase in our Gift Shop.
