SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy October 2022
DESCRIPTION:Relativity – The Layman’s Guide\nPart 2: General Relativity & Gravity\nGuest Speaker: Nick Odom \nRelativity and Newton’s law of gravity are mathematically incompatible. Einstein realized that the local effects of gravity and acceleration are equivalent\, and that gravity is a distortion of spacetime. An analysis of the effect of gravity on light reveals that time runs slower in gravitational fields and that light bends. The bending is increased by the curvature of space.  We briefly examine black holes and end with the observational consequences of the theory. \nThis is a fascinating topic and not to be missed. We look forward to seeing you all there. \nThis meeting will also be live streamed to the AAS YouTube channel \nhttps://www.youtube.com/c/AucklandAstronomicalSociety

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting October - The Habitability of Planets\, Galaxies and Universes
DESCRIPTION:Finding other Earths and potentially other life forms is a major\, increasingly reasonable scientific goal. Our search for habitable planets and inhabited planets is now in high gear. But what is life? And what is the best way to look for it. Are there specific places and times in our galaxy where life is more probable? I will review the general idea of habitability as it applies to planets\, galaxies and universes in the multiverse scenario. \nDr Charley Lineweaver is an honorary associate professor at the Australian National University’s Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics and Research School of Earth Science and this year’s Burbidge Din-\nner speaker. \n
