The Science of…Aliens, the latest in a series of special exhibitions, opens at the San Diego Air & Space Museum on February 1st.

Follow us on a journey through the real science of alien life and into the furthest reaches of your imagination. Get up-close and personal with some classic science fiction films and props, then come face-to-face with the weird creatures that inhabit Earth, before exploring far-flung planets and stars.

Enter the ‘Alien Worlds’ of leading scientists and meet the aliens they have imagined in a unique hands-on environment.
