SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy November 2022
DESCRIPTION:Hazards of Human Spaceflight to Mars\nThings You Need To Know\nNASA and Elon Musk’s Space X recently announced their intention to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s. Why go to Mars\, and what are the challenges to the human body with this pioneering journey? Dr. Chris Benton will discuss these questions and outline the physical hazards of human long-duration spaceflight\, proposed countermeasures and current research in this field\, answering the question as to whether it will be safe. \nIt could be your close relatives or friends travelling on these pioneer missions. Come along and discover what you need to know for spaceflight to our neighbouring planet and possibly humanity’s second home.

SUMMARY:Young Astronomers Group November
DESCRIPTION:Young astronomers will identify the challenges of landing a lunar lander on the surface of a body without an atmosphere. In teams\, they will design\, build\, and improve a lunar lander model that can slow its descent using the downward thrust of a balloon. The teams can then take the designs home to improve them and share their modifications with the group for our final session in December! Bring your friends and family along. \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNāku iti noa\, nā \n \nCarolle Varughese

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting November - The Fast Radio Sky: A New Window on the Violent Universe
DESCRIPTION:This month we will be screening a recent Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture with Dr. Victoria Kaspi (McGill University) \nThe Fast Radio Sky: A New Window on the Violent Universe \nIn this illustrated introduction\, Dr. Kaspi introduces us to a brand-new mystery in the skies — superfast bursts of radio waves whose source is still unknown. These energetic bursts come from all over the sky (and all over the universe\,) pack a huge amount of energy\, and typically last a few thousandths of a second. Like a detective in the middle of a case\, Dr. Kaspi fills us in on the story of how new observations (especially with the CHIME telescope project which she heads) have been revealing tantalizing new aspects of these bursts\, without yet giving us a solution to their ultimate cause. She shares both the thrills and frustrations of a new phenomenon in science\, still in the process of being explored. \nVictoria Kaspi is the inaugural director of the McGill Space Institute and holds the Lorne Trottier Chair in Astrophysics and Cosmology at McGill University. She is the winner of the 2021 Shaw Prize in astronomy and the 2022 Albert Einstein World Award in Science.

SUMMARY:Astrophotography Group November
DESCRIPTION:Tonight we have an introduction to DeepSkyStacker by Eric Chiu.  DeepSkyStacker is a freeware for astrophotographers that simplifies all the pre-processing steps of deep sky pictures. \nThis will be followed by a light discussion of the group meetings going forwards: \n\nSubjects that we would like to cover off over the next 12 months.  Subjects such as\n\nPractical sessions\nTheory sessions\nIntroductions to other software\n\n\nIf anyone is interested in covering a subject  please let the group know\nDo we want to form a small committee to coordinate the sessions.

SUMMARY:Practical Astronomy November - variable stars
DESCRIPTION:Variable Stars. \nObservation of variable stars  has a long history with amateur astronomy. We will discuss the types of variable stars and how to observe them to obtain scientifically useful data. This is still a valuable activity even with the large survey telescopes as amateurs can obtain data for stars that are too bright for the large telescopes\, or for certain types of variable stars where changes are happening rapidly\, the survey scopes cannot be dedicated for short cadence observing of a single star. \n
