SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy February 2022
DESCRIPTION:Annual Fun Quiz Night!\nby Chris Benton \nIt’s time we reflect on popular topics covered last year and do some revision in the form of a fun-filled quiz. \nJoin us online and have loads of fun recalling what you learned during the year and review the main points of each monthly session. The Quiz is designed for those who attended all\, some or none of the talks during the year\, so there’s no excuse to miss out! \nThe multiple-choice questions\, each designed to lead into a teaching discussion\, will include the topics: Dark Matter\, Special Relativity\, The Sun\, The Night Sky\, Star Clusters and Water on Mars. \nWe look forward to seeing you all on our YouTube website to view this online using the below link. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/c/AucklandAstronomicalSociety

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting February - Kumeu Observatory - Note the change to Tuesday evening.
DESCRIPTION:The Society operate the Kumeu Observatory\, which over recent times\, has been upgraded with a GSO 400mm Ritchey–Chrétien telescope and full frame cooled CMOS camera (QHY 600M) fitted with a filter wheel. The Society purchased these using funds from the Trixie and Barry Menzies bequest. Society member Tony Cooper will be bringing us up to date with the progress at the observatory\, including resolution of issues with the dome\, the equipment\, software and the correct setup and calibration of the new camera. He will also report on the first scientific results from the new setup.

SUMMARY:Beatrice Hill-Tinsley Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Note – This was rescheduled from last year. Venue: AUT Lecture theatre WA220 \nVaccine Passport and mask wearing will be required for in person attendance. This is a free event but as we are limited to a maximum of 100 attendees for social distancing\, you will need to register.

She is an energetic\, enthusiastic\, educational and entertaining speaker well able to reach out to audiences of all ages and levels. Heloise gave excellent presentations at the RASNZ Conference earlier this year and was an obvious choice to swoop in and save the day when Covid-19 scuppered Professor Harvey-Smith’s tour. Dr Heloise Stevence enthusiastically accepted the invitation to give the 2021 tour. \n \nDr Stevence gave the following brief biographical background:\nOriginally born and raised in France\, I moved to the UK to study Physics and Astronomy at the University of Sheffield. After working as a support astronomer at the Isaac Newton Group in La Palma for a year\, I obtained my Masters of Physics in 2015. I subsequently started a PhD studying the 3D shape of Core Collapse Supernovae\, and earned my title in Spring 2019. In July of that year\, I joined the University of Auckland as a Research Fellow to research the evolution of massive stars to better understand how they die and produce Supernovae and Kilonovae. \nI also started my public outreach work during my doctorate studies\, in early 2016\, and I have not stopped since.
