SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy July 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Apollo Moon Landings\nThe Lost Missions \nIn July 1969\, Apollo 11 rightfully garnered a great deal of media attention and will forever be enshrined in history. However\, five successful landings followed from November 1969 to December 1972\, which history has all but forgotten. Chris Benton reviews all six missions\, illustrating how each one was more technologically and scientifically advanced than the previous. Come along and learn what these pioneering missions achieved\, who the astronauts were\, plus enjoy a visual tour with lesser-known photographs from each mission\, including panoramic views of the lunar landscape\, and what the landing sites look like today. We will also discuss the findings of the many surface experiments and what the lunar rocks tell us about our Moon’s past. \nThere’s something in this talk for everyone\, from those curious about all six landings\, members wanting to know more about lunar science\, to everyone who likes to enjoy high-definition moonscape images on our big screen. Come along to learn\, enjoy and have fun!

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting July
DESCRIPTION:The JWST is the most expensive and powerful telescope astronomers have ever constructed. Its launch in 2021 started a new phase in our exploration of the cosmos\, with the observatory’s golden mirrors producing instantly iconic images of the Solar System’s giant planets\, nearby star-forming regions and galaxies\, and our distant universe. The lecture includes the latest news from its studies of the early universe\, a place lit up by what appears to have been a much more spectacular burst of activity than anyone expected. \nThis lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on 28th May 2025 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.

SUMMARY:Practical Astronomy July - Sky Charting Software
DESCRIPTION:Sky Charting software can be used for planning your observing sessions\, previewing sky events and even telescope and dome control control. They are also a great educational resource for learning and gaining understanding of some of the jargon used in astronomy. We will use the Open Source desktop application Stellarium to investigate some of these features and also demonstrate the use of a mobile device using the Sky Safari app.

SUMMARY:Film Night July - The Planets - 25 years Later
DESCRIPTION:Terra Firma \nLast month\, members of the society were interested in the difference between a volcano crater and meteor crater\, as both of these are structures we can see on the surfaces of the earth\, and the moon using even the smallest of telescopes. Space travel has let us find vulcanism everywhere in the Solar System\, and we are starting to find evidence of it on exoplanets. \nVulcanism on the Earth and Moon\nThe mighty volcanoes of Mars\, and the formation of Mariner Valley\nThe lava plains of Venus\, and its mapping\nVulcanism of the Galilean Moons of Jupiter\nThe geysers of Triton \nDevelopments since 1999 : \nVulcanism of Venus – observed eruptions\nThe changing face of Io\nEvidence of geological processes of the Exoplanets
