SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting May - Rocks from Space
DESCRIPTION:Rocks from Space \nwith Professor Jonti Horner \nJonti first became interested in astronomy at the age of five\, after seeing the BBC TV programme ‘The Sky\nat Night’\, and soon became an enthusiastic amateur astronomer. He joined his local astronomical society\nin the UK\, WYAS (the West Yorkshire Astronomical Society) at the age of eight\, and is currently honoured\nto serve as the society’s honorary president. To pursue his dream of turning his hobby into a career\, Jonti\nstudied a Masters’ degree in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Durham\, before moving to the\nUniversity of Oxford to undertake his doctoral studies. Once his PhD was complete\, Jonti worked as a\npostdoctoral research fellow at the University of Bern and the UK’s Open University before moving to\nAustralia in 2010 to work at UNSW. In 2014\, he moved to Toowoomba\, to join the University of Southern\nQueensland\, where he is now Professor of Astrophysics. His research ranges from the study of our own\nSolar system to the search for planets orbiting other stars\, as well as trying to understand the different\nfactors that could come together to make one planet more or less suitable as a target in the search for life\nbeyond Earth.
