A fascinating ESA-supported exhibition that explores the question of whether life could exist beyond Earth is has opened at the Natural History Museum in London.
Visitors will be greeted by a scale model of ESA’s Rosalind Franklin ExoMars rover, which will look beneath the surface of the Red Planet for signs of past life. The rover will drill up to two metres below the surface to sample martian soil, analyse its composition and search for preserved deposits of organic molecules. This image shows the model in the process of being transported to the exhibition.
“Space: Could Life Exist Beyond Earth?” is on display at the Natural History Museum, London, from 16 May 2025 to 22 February 2026, with entry from 10:00 to 16:30 daily. You can book your tickets online.
