SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy February 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Moons of Jupiter\nBy Jonathan Park \nJupiter has 95 officially recognised moons\, which our guest speaker\, Jonathan Park\, will discuss. Learn about where they all came from\, including working out which are parts of larger objects that were shattered in the past. We’ll also discuss the four large Galilean moons\, three with subsurface saltwater oceans and one with active volcanoes and several lava lakes. It’s going to be an informative and fun way to start the year. We hope to see you all there for this stimulating talk with Jonathan!

SUMMARY:Young Astronomers
DESCRIPTION:What would happen if you got too close to a black hole? Would you be stretched like spaghetti? Would you ever escape? Are black holes gateways straight to hell? This month\, we’re diving into the most mysterious objects in the universe: Black holes! From stellar-mass monsters just a few kilometers across to supermassive giants that could swallow entire star systems\, each black hole is a universe of its own. Get ready to unravel their secrets\, from insane amounts of gravity to the point of no return! \nJust to note: If Earth were compressed into a black hole\, it would be the size of a marble\, and do you know black holes bigger than the solar system exist?

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting February - Touching the Sun
DESCRIPTION:Despite its familiarity\, the Sun is a very different presence from the friendly yellow circle in children’s paintings. Our star is a broiling mass of plasma\, with its powerful magnetic fields\, twisted by its rotation\, capable of producing dramatic events of spectacular beauty and power. Using results from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe – the fastest moving human-made object ever – and ESA’s Solar Orbiter\, this spectacular lecture takes a new look at the mysteries of the Sun\, and its effects on the Earth. \nThis lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on 15th January 2024 at Conway Hall\, London \nChris is Gresham Professor of Astronomy. \nHe is also a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford\, and a Research Fellow at New College.
