SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy March 2023
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the Observable Universe \nGuest Speaker: Jonathan Park \nJoin us as we explore space and time to gain an understanding of the concept of the “observable universe”. It may seem paradoxical at first: the universe is only 13.8 billion years old\, yet the “observable” universe is a region of space 93 billion light-years across\, with us in the centre. Even stranger\, the oldest light we can see (13.8 billion years old) started only 42 million light-years away from our location. How can this be? What are we really seeing out in the universe? Tonight\, Jonathan will explain\, and hope that you find this as fascinating as we all do! \n  \nThe meeting will also be live-streamed on the AAS YouTube channel \nhttps://www.youtube.com/c/AucklandAstronomicalSociety \n

SUMMARY:Young Astronomers March - Solving the Mysteries of Galaxies
DESCRIPTION:This month’s meeting will be solving mysteries of galaxies! \nSome questions are\, what are galaxies? Why are some of them S shaped and why do some of them look like eggs in space? What is this fuss about the Milky way’s collision with the Andromeda Galaxy? And joining us will debunk these questions! A cool activity of this meeting will be looking at live viewing of galaxies on the projector taken by online telescopes controlled by me and if we are lucky\, we might be able to also see some live views of nebulas! Note: It is possible that telescopes are offline due to bad weather in Chile. \nHope to see you there. \nAlex

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting March - Island Universes: Discovering Galaxies Beyond the Milky Way
DESCRIPTION:Continuing with this months theme of the scale of the Universe\, Professor Chris Lintott presents a Greshan College video lecture. \nIsland Universes: Discovering Galaxies Beyond the Milky Way \nThe discovery that we live in an ordinary galaxy\, one of several hundred billion in the observable Universe\, instigated a profound change in thinking about our place in the Universe. \nThis lecture covers the Great Debate of the early twentieth century as new telescopes and new ways of observing the cosmos put our Milky Way in its place; and looks at how subsequent observations helped us understand how galaxies like our own formed and evolved. \nThis lecture was recorded by Professor Chris Lintott on 13 September 2023 at Barnard’s Inn Hall\, London. Chris is Gresham Professor of Astronomy. He is also a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford\, and a Research Fellow at New College. \nThe meeting will be followed by supper.

SUMMARY:Film Night February
DESCRIPTION:We are running two films tonight \nWe look forwards to seeing you there. \nThe Far Side of the Moon Like You’ve Never Seen It Before\n \nAllow me to ask you a question: “If you could visit anywhere on the Moon\, where would you go?  There are mountains and craters here\, scientific marvels\, and mysteries cloaked in pitch-black shadows.  Join us to view the Moon as seen by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. \n  \nThe Deepest We Have Ever Seen Into the Sun\n \nHow viewing the Sun in ultraviolet can uncover its secrets\, and much more.  This short film has stunning images.
