SUMMARY:Simon Holbeche: The Women who discovered what stars are made of.
DESCRIPTION:101 years ago\, a 24-year-old English woman had her astrophysics PhD published based on her work at Harvard College Observatory. It bought together 50 years of effort by Harvard’s computers and shattered the contemporary view of stellar astronomy. The talk guides you through these 5 decades and the trials and tribulations for the women involved. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the speaker is presenting this talk remotely over Zoom.  \n\n\n\nAbout Simon:Simon Holbeche is the chair of Bath Astronomers and abnormally keen on astronomical and space outreach. A STEM Ambassador and visiting stargazer for Bath Preservation Trust\, Bath Abbey\, English Heritage and the National Trust.

SUMMARY:Jacco van Loon: Mysterious matter in interstellar space
DESCRIPTION:The light from stars is intercepted by molecules in deep space but we do not know what the majority of these particles are. They appear as absorption features in the spectra of stars and are therefore called “Diffuse Interstellar Bands”. They were first discovered by  Mary Lea Heger around 1920\, a find\, I would argue\, more significant than the tomb of Tutankhamun. I will tell you this century-old detective story. How we are using powerful telescopes to tease out new clues\, and why it all matters. Be prepared for audience participation – to solve the mystery\, you have to become the mystery!

SUMMARY:Paul Fellows - Once around the moons of Pluto
DESCRIPTION:Screenshot\n\n\n\nPluto was recognised as a planet in 1930 but appeared to be alone until 1978. The discovery of a large moon\, Charon\, changed our perspective. With the flyby of the New Horizons probe more moons were discovered\, and along with them new mysteries and new clues about this interesting system of small worlds in the outer solar system.
