For the second year running, Green Templeton is delighted to be showcasing its connection to the field of astronomy by partnering with the Oxford Astrophysics sub-department for Open Doors 2024. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the universe through hands-on activities and demonstrations, as well as exhibits on exoplanets and the solar system.
