SUMMARY:Young Astronomers November - Planetary Moons
DESCRIPTION:This month’s meeting will be based on planetary moons. This will involve learning some really famous moons and their prominent features such as the methane oceans of Titan and the active surface of Io. Also the session will be followed up by colliding and smashing planets using the universe sandbox.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting November - Dark Skies Down Under – Australian astronomy in the 2020s 
DESCRIPTION:Dark Skies Down Under – Australian astronomy in the 2020s\n \nAustralia’s vantage point on the Universe gives its astronomers several advantages in the pursuit of their science. One of the most radio-quiet locations on the planet is within our shores\, and optical (visible light) astronomers currently have access to world-leading facilities both at home and overseas. But a new generation of telescopes is now being built\, and this fully illustrated talk explains Australia’s involvement in these exciting projects\, and the kinds of discoveries that might follow.  \nProfessor Fred Watson AM has been the Australian Government’s Astronomer-at-Large since 2018. He is a graduate of the universities of St Andrews and Edinburgh\, and worked at both of Britain’s Royal Observatories before joining the Australian Astronomical Observatory as Astronomer-in-Charge in 1995. Recognised internationally for pioneering the use of fibre optics in astronomy during the 1980s\, Fred is best known today for his radio and TV broadcasts\, books\, music\, dark-sky advocacy and co-hosting the Space Nuts podcast. A unique claim to fame is that he is the only Australian astronomer to have received an APRA classical music award. Fred is an adjunct professor in several Australian universities\, and was made a Member of the Order of Australia in 2010 for service to astronomy. He has been a Questacon Mind-in-Residence since 2020\, and\, in 2022\, received an honorary D.Sc. from Macquarie University. He also has an asteroid named after him (5691 Fredwatson)\, but says that if it hits the Earth\, it won’t be his fault. \nThe meeting will be followed with supper. \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n
