Sydney Science Festival 2024

The Earthrise photograph was captured by astronaut William Anders during the 1968 Apollo 8 mission and depicts Earth as a fragile blue marble amid the vast blackness of space. This was the first colour photograph of Earth from space, and it forever shifted humanity’s perception of our planet. Half a century later Sydney Science Festival brings together leading creatives and scientists from around the world who are radically rethinking our understanding of the sky, Country and each other.
