We must explore the space caves!

November 24 at 7:00 PM at SmArt.Point in Almaty, astronomer and science communicator Vladimir Surdin will give an exciting lecture on the search for extraterrestrial life!

Did you know that the most promising locations for discovering life beyond Earth and for building extraterrestrial habitats are caves on planets, their moons, asteroids, and comets? 🌌

— Why are caves considered suitable for life?
— Could this be a new frontier for space colonization?
— How does the presence of water in these caves increase the chances of finding life?
— Why don’t we yet have robots capable of exploring these mysterious depths?

Vladimir Surdin will share innovative ideas for exploring cosmic caves and explain how they might impact the future of space colonization.
