SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy May 2021
DESCRIPTION:Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity\nTonight Demystified\nEinstein’s ground-breaking 1905 Theory of Special Relativity defines the relationship between space and time. Tonight Chris Benton discusses what led Einstein to form his two initial postulates for this theory\, what those two postulates are\, and the fascinating implications counterintuitive to classical physics. \nCome along and discover why nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in empty space and how observers may differ on the order in which events occur. You will also see how starfaring spacecraft appear to shorten in length while astronauts age slower than others on Earth\, plus learn about the famous thought-provoking Twins Paradox.

SUMMARY:Film Night MAY - SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLES.
DESCRIPTION:MAY  Film Night: Super Massive Black Holes \nAt May Film night Ken Hulls uses two films to look in detail at Super Massive Black Holes. \nAfter an introduction\, the first looks in detail at the prediction and subsequent discovery of the super massive 4.5 million solar mass black hole at the middle of the Milky Way\, explaining the science and techniques involved. The second looks in detail at the making of the photograph of the 6.5 Billion solar mass black hole at the centre of the M87 galaxy\, published in late 2019 with update March 2021. The film looks at how the photograph of this object\, which is 55 million light years away was made\, and what it tells us. \n
