SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy June 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Sun & The Southern Lights\nWhat’s going on?\nWe’ve all recently been spoiled with stunning views of the Southern Lights\, something we never thought would be so visible this far north! Chris Benton discusses what causes these spectacular displays of nature\, from electromagnetic processes on the Sun to where and when to view them best on Earth. Come along and learn more about this incredible phenomenon that captivates us all! \nBest regards\, The AAS Team

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting June - Is it Aliens? The Most Unusual Star in the Galaxy
DESCRIPTION:Boyajian’s star\, a faint and unprepossessing presence in the constellation of Cygnus\, attracted astronomers’ attention when it began to flicker alarmingly. \nWe will discuss explanations for its behaviour\, from disintegrating comets to alien megastructures\, and consider how modern astronomy hunts for the truly unusual objects in the Universe. For this task\, the involvement of large numbers of volunteers – citizen scientists – is essential\, for example via the Zooniverse platform\, which invites you to participate in classifying galaxies and discovering planets. \nThis lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on 29th April 2024 at Conway Hall\, London \nChris is Gresham Professor of Astronomy. He is also a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford\, and a Research Fellow at New College.

SUMMARY:Film Night June
DESCRIPTION:We are running two films tonight \nWe look forwards to seeing you there. \nWhy Venera Went Silent on Venus | Astrum\n \nWhat caused Venera Space Ship to fail so quickly after a successful landing on Venus.  This documentary explains why and shows the only images of Venus ever to be captured from it’s surface. \n  \nUncovering the Secrets of the International Space Station (Full Episode) | Superstructures\n \nWhat makes up the ISS.  How did we fly it all up into orbit.  Did you know the ISS has emergency escape pods ready to un-dock at a moments notice\, to drop towards Earth\, and that the Astronauts have had to occupy these during recent potential catastrophic events.  These subjects and more will be covered is this documentary.
