SUMMARY:Film Night June - The Cosmos - 45 years later.
DESCRIPTION:One Voice in the Cosmic Fugue\nSubject: Evolution by natural selection; Heike crab story; origin of life; DNA and the unity of life. 45 Years Later: \n\nGenomic sequencing revolution (Human Genome Project 2003; thousands of species sequenced); horizontal gene transfer and RNA world hypothesis strengthened.\nLaboratory synthesis of self-replicating RNA and protocells; complex organics detected on comets (Rosetta) and asteroids (Ryugu samples).\nJWST detecting prebiotic molecules in protoplanetary disks.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy July 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram\nClassifying Stars & Tracing Stellar Evolution\nArguably\, the most important diagram in astronomy\, the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram (HRD)\, shows how plotting the brightness of stars against their surface temperature enables the classification into different stellar types and maps their life cycles. \nLearn how astronomers measure the true brightness or luminosity of stars and their surface temperature\, followed by how this is used to construct an HRD and interpret the information provided\, including what’s going on inside stars at each stage of their lifespan to cause them to expand and change colour.
