Intro to Astronomy - December 2018
Monday 03 Dec, 2018
at 20:00Hrs
Venue: Stardome Observatory
A tutorial series covering many aspects of astronomy. This months topic is:
Media Coverage of Astronomy News & Annual Fun Quiz
Decembers Introduction to Astronomy will be in two parts. First up, AAS member John Wishart is going to present an interesting take on how the media have covered stories of astronomical interest over the past two years. Sources of media have included newspapers, books, the internet, television, public speakers, social media and radio, covering a wide range of topics such as: · The fate of the Universe · Gravitational waves · The Total Solar Eclipse · Newly discovered exoplanets
Come along and join in discussion with your opinion on what sort of job they have done. Were items hyped-up with overly excited articles or perhaps even dumbed down? Were the articles accurate, or did they get some things wrong? The annual fun quiz will follow and aim to be both lively and instructive, covering key principles from the Introduction to Astronomy sessions during the year. Before we go home, I will also review the list of exciting topics lined up for 2019!
