During the 2020 lockdown, the National Space Centre continued to engage a national audience with their space-themes videos.
The team at the Space Centre ran a series of thematic weeks from April 2020 onwards, showcasing videos and activities that focussed on different topic each week. From Mars to the Moon, from astronauts to rockets, each week saw the Space Centre team using space to engage a nation that were stuck at home.
Dr. Leigh Fletcher provided video content for the Gas Giants week in May 2020. The first video explores Leicester’s involvement in the NASA Juno mission, currently orbiting Jupiter and exploring the weather of its deep atmosphere, and the forthcoming JUICE mission to explore Jupiter’s icy moons. The second video looks back at Leicester’s involvement in the Cassini mission to Saturn and Titan.
