Climate change is one of the most significant threats that we as humans currently face.
We Are Guardians is a highly immersive, leading-edge look at the role of satellites in orbit around Earth - how they monitor the effects of a changing climate, and how the information they provide will be crucial in our fight to reduce harmful emissions.
Planetarium show tickets also include free entry to Earth From Space, a Royal Observatory Greenwich exhibition available from 21 October that takes a detailed look at our world through a satellite’s lens.
We Are Guardians is produced by NSC Creative, part of the National Space Centre in Leicester.

The planetarium is part of the Royal Observatory, at the top of a hill with spectacular views across London. Please allow enough time to get to us and aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before the show’s start time, as latecomers cannot be admitted.
