Dear Visitor,
|
|
|
|
The October Lecture:-
|
|
|
Speaker: Dr Hannah Wakeford
Senior Lecturer in Astrophysics, Bristol University
Date : 7:30 pm - Wednesday, 11th October
Location : Royal Agricultural University - Sir Emrys Jones Lecture Theatre
& CSTS Zoom Channel ID 912 0723 6181
Some extra points to note:
There will be a book-signing by Hannah after the lecture tomorrow.
The book is : BANG 2: The Complete History of the Universe
by Brian May, Sir Patrick Moore, Chris Lintott and Hannah Wakeford.
Hannah Wakeford appeared in a special edition of The Sky at Night last night on BBC4 at 10pm, and said a lot about exoplanets! You can still catch it on BBC iPlayer.
Following last month's talk, we have been sent a video of the Severn Bore by Barbara Brockway, which we will show just before the lecture tomorrow; it lasts about 1 minute.
Don't forget: tea, coffee and biscuits will be available again before the talk (for only £2.50) so come early along to relax and chat with friends.

The study of exoplanets, planets that orbit stars other than the Sun, is a fascinating new field of discovery. The question "How do stars and planetary systems form and evolve?"" is one of the biggest in Astronomy and is at the root of one of the most important questions we have had since we looked up at the stars: "How did we get here?".
I will take us on a journey to explore how we measure and understand the nature these strange new worlds beyond our Solar System. We will dive into the atmospheres of alien planets to discover the truly wild nature of planets in the universe from chains of rocky worlds around ultra-cool stars to exotic clouds of molten rock in the atmosphere of ultra-hot gas giants.
