SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting July
DESCRIPTION:The JWST is the most expensive and powerful telescope astronomers have ever constructed. Its launch in 2021 started a new phase in our exploration of the cosmos\, with the observatory’s golden mirrors producing instantly iconic images of the Solar System’s giant planets\, nearby star-forming regions and galaxies\, and our distant universe. The lecture includes the latest news from its studies of the early universe\, a place lit up by what appears to have been a much more spectacular burst of activity than anyone expected. \nThis lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on 28th May 2025 at Conway Hall\, London \nChris is Gresham Professor of Astronomy. \nHe is also a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford\, and a Research Fellow at New College.

SUMMARY:Practical Astronomy July - Sky Charting Software
DESCRIPTION:Sky Charting software can be used for planning your observing sessions\, previewing sky events and even telescope and dome control control. They are also a great educational resource for learning and gaining understanding of some of the jargon used in astronomy. We will use the Open Source desktop application Stellarium to investigate some of these features and also demonstrate the use of a mobile device using the Sky Safari app.

SUMMARY:Film Night July - The Planets - 25 years Later
DESCRIPTION:Terra Firma \nLast month\, members of the society were interested in the difference between a volcano crater and meteor crater\, as both of these are structures we can see on the surfaces of the earth\, and the moon using even the smallest of telescopes. Space travel has let us find vulcanism everywhere in the Solar System\, and we are starting to find evidence of it on exoplanets. \nVulcanism on the Earth and Moon\nThe mighty volcanoes of Mars\, and the formation of Mariner Valley\nThe lava plains of Venus\, and its mapping\nVulcanism of the Galilean Moons of Jupiter\nThe geysers of Triton \nDevelopments since 1999 : \nVulcanism of Venus – observed eruptions\nThe changing face of Io\nEvidence of geological processes of the Exoplanets
