SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy March 2025
DESCRIPTION:NASA’s Europa Clipper Mission to Jupiter \nLate last year\, NASA launched a mission to Jupiter’s moon\, Europa\, in search of its potential to host life. Tonight\, Chris Benton will discuss why NASA chose Europa and what special features attract astronomers and astrobiologists to such a mission. Come along and also learn about the spacecraft\, how it will use gravitational assist manoeuvres to reach its destination\, its various instruments and the science to be performed.

SUMMARY:Young Astronomers Group March - Measuring Distances in Space
DESCRIPTION:Measuring distances in space \nDo we have to run the distance of a galaxy🏃\, throw a spacecraft to travel for hundreds of billions of kilometers🛰️ or use a light-year long ruler to measure the distances in space📏?\nWhat if I told you that scientists are able to measure the distances without the need of going to space?\nAnd young scientists like you can do it too? Right here in our home on planet Earth? \nFind out how we measure distances in space and how you can do it too in young astronomers group!

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting March - Observing with the James Webb Space Telescope: Glimpsing the First Stars
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Dan Coe (Space Telescope Science Institute)\nObserving with the James Webb Space Telescope: Glimpsing the First Stars \nThe Webb Telescope was designed to look back in time\, to study the first generation of stars\, and reveal our cosmic origins. Now in its second year of operation\, JWST has already brought us tantalizingly close to our dream of seeing those first stars. Dr. Coe takes us on a profusely illustrated tour of some of the best images and latest results from the telescope\, and tells us about his and others’ observations of the most distant stars and galaxies astronomers have ever seen\, providing a view of the universe as it was 13 billion years ago. \nThis is a rebroadcast of one of the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series. \n

SUMMARY:Film Night March
DESCRIPTION:We are running two documentaries this evening. \nWe look forwards to seeing you there. \nAdvances is Space Technology\n \nA revolution in space technology is unfolding. New players in the launch industry are radically cutting the cost of access to space and our understanding of the universe is growing exponentially thanks to space-based research.  We are viewing 2 parts of a 13-part series examining all things space\, from Jupiter to space communication. What are the most recent discoveries\, and what technology made them possible?  Tonight we are viewing “The Launchers” and “Space Telescopes” \n\nHiding in Starlight | BBC The Sky at Night\n \nTotal solar eclipses\, like the one seen recently in North America\, allow us to see details of the sun that can’t be seen at any other time.  The BBC Team discuss this and more in their latest documentary.
