Horrox

HORROX: A forgotten Cambridge hero Jeremiah Horrocks came to Emmanuel College in 1632 at the age of just fifteen to study the stars. By the time he was 22 he had changed the way in which we see the Universe. Tragically and mysteriously, he was also dead….and then forgotten. Horrox brings this tragi-comic Cambridge hero back to life and to the stage to celebrate a young astronomer who became the first human to observe the Transit of Venus and answer one of humanity’s greatest mysteries: what is our place in the Universe?
