As part of the Sci-Fi-London OktoberFest, The Royal Observatory in Greenwich put on a super special event investigation all things extra-terrestrial. There were masked mutants at every entrance, an alien adventure game and a tour of space from the amazing planetarium. Plus, a special screening of Gareth Edward’s low budget, sci-fi film Monsters finished off the universal evening. Nice.

The viral marketing campaign for Roland Emmerich’s big budget disaster movie 2012 has caused real global panic, with thousands inundating NASA with concerned phone calls and emails in the build-up to the film’s release.
