To mark , we’re highlighting a huge piece of technology that uses the power of the ocean itself to generate sustainable energy and combat climate change.

This 7.5m-long turbine blade was one of four that sat beneath the SR2000 tidal energy vessel off the coast of Orkney, Scotland. During its 12-month test period, it generated enough energy from the ocean’s tides to power a thousand homes.

You can see the turbine blade on display in Energy Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery on level 2.

🌌 35 years ago Helen Sharman became the first Brit in space 🌌

In May 1991 Helen launched into orbit on a mission to the Mir Space Station, making history in the process. Today we collaborated with Piccadilly Lights in the heart of Piccadilly Circus, celebrating that out-of-this-world achievement with Helen herself.

You can see Helen’s real spacesuit from that historic mission in the Science Museum’s new Space gallery, which brings together remarkable objects to tell the story of space exploration. Best of all, it’s free to visit!
