SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy September 2022
DESCRIPTION:Relativity – The Layman’s Guide\nPart 1: Historical Background and Special Relativity\nGuest Speaker: Nick Odom \nNick starts with a brief description of physical knowledge in the 1890s and the problems that led to relativity\, in particular with regard to measuring the speed of light.  He will describe the basic axioms that underpin the theory and the effects on time and distance\, including the relevance of inertial frameworks\, the Doppler effect and the twin paradox.  Concluding\, he addresses the relationship between mass and energy and finishes with an introduction to spacetime. \nNick keeps mathematics very simple and uses plenty of diagrams to explain the main points\, making this fascinating topic accessible to everyone. We look forward to seeing you all there.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting September - Dark Star: The Invisible Universe of Brown Dwarfs
DESCRIPTION:This month will be a screening of one of this years Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures. \nPresented by Dr. Adam Burgasser (University of California\, San Diego) \nIn this illustrated talk\, Dr. Burgasser explains what happens when a newly forming star doesn’t have “what it takes” to produce energy in its core in an ongoing way. This results in “failed stars” or brown dwarfs — objects that were predicted in theory\, but only discovered in the 1990’s. Today\, many thousands of these brown dwarfs are known\, spanning a wide range of temperatures and masses\, and occupying a unique niche at the intersection of stars and planets. Dr. Burgasser discusses how such faint objects are discovered\, highlights their exceptional properties\, and describes what this (mostly) invisible population can tell us about the formation and history of our Milky Way Galaxy. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Practical Astronomy September - The Spring Night Sky
DESCRIPTION:This will be one of our seasonal Night Sky reviews. We will use the Digistar Planetarium to explore the constellations and deep sky objects of the Spring Night Sky. Weather permitting we will follow up with Telescope viewing using the EWB Zeiss telescope.

SUMMARY:Film Night September 26th
DESCRIPTION:We have two exciting short films tonight: \nArtemis I – Path to the Pad: The Rocket\n \nHave you ever wondered what it takes to assemble the most powerful rocket NASA has ever built?  This is the lead up to Nasa’s test flight in anticipation of the next Manned space flight to the moon. \n  \nBBC The Sky at Night 2022 – The James Webb Road Trip\nThe Sky at Night team meets the scientists in the UK researching the astonishing new data returned by the James Webb Space Telescope.
