SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy April 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Origin of the Elements \nThe making of everything – from us to gold rings \nEverything and everyone around you is made up of atoms from combinations of up to 118 elements. From the iron in your blood\, the calcium in your bones\, the silicon in your phone\, to the gold and silver in your jewellery. \nWhat are atoms and elements? Where did they come from and how were they made? Tonight\, Chris Benton will answer these questions\, including how stars live\, collide\, and die\, and importantly\, how many of them end their lives as massive supernova explosions. You will learn all of this and much more\, showing how the famous astronomer\, Carl Sagan\, was right in saying that we are all made of starstuff. \nAll attendees will receive a comprehensive\, multi-page handout that covers and expands on everything we discuss. Don’t miss out!
