SUMMARY:Paul Fellows - Children of Another Sun
DESCRIPTION:It is only in the last twenty years that we have been able to prove that the Sun is not unique in having a family of planets. This talk takes up the story of the discovery of planets beyond the solar system and described how we have gone about tracking down planets orbiting other stars (One of which Paul has found himself). How many planets are there out there? What are they like? How do we know? Then taking things a little further this talk brings the story of the search for life bang up to date with the latest thinking on this fascinating topic. \n\n\n\nAbout me: Having built his first telescope aged 14 and experiencing the “wow” moment of seeing the rings of Saturn for the first time\, he has been stargazing for some 40 years and has his own private observatory where he images the sky\, taking pictures of galaxies\, clusters\, nebulae and planets. Many of his own images will appear in his talks. \n\n\n\n((In normal times)) Paul co-presents the public observing evenings at the University of Cambridge\, leading the live outdoor shows every week or giving indoor presentations when the clouds roll in! Either way these attract audiences of 200+ on a regular basis and are aimed to appeal to people of all levels from the complete beginner who wants to know where to start\, yet hopefully adding something even for the more knowledgeable. \n\n\n\nPaul holds a Master’s degree in natural sciences and a post-graduate diploma in computer science from the University of Cambridge\, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and Technology\, A Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society\, and chairman of the Cambridge Astronomical Association.

SUMMARY:Paul Pope Lecture: Chris Lintott - The Crowd and the Cosmos
DESCRIPTION:Wolverhampton Astronomical Society is proud to present it’s annual free public talk\, the Paul Pope Lecture. \n\n\n\nThis year we are delighted to welcome Chris Lintott\, co-presenter of the BBC’s Sky at Night program to talk to us about The Crowd and the Cosmos. \n\n\n\nAstronomer Chris Lintott explains how you could help astronomers sort through galaxies\, explore the surface of Mars\, or even discover a planet. This is the story of the Zooniverse\, which has enlisted more than two million people in the search for cosmic truth. Using stories drawn from contemporary research\, this talk describes their discoveries – including the most mysterious star in the Milky Way – and argues that the search for the truly unusual could rely on you. The talk includes at least one picture of penguins. \n\n\n\nOrder a personalised signed copy of The Crowd & The Cosmos

SUMMARY:Mark Gibbons - Black Holes
DESCRIPTION:From being theoretical curiosities predicted by mathematics\, to objects we now have direct observational evidence of: black holes. They have a surprisingly wide-ranging effect on the structures we see in the Universe. We have some idea about what goes on inside a black hole\, and a better idea what goes on around one. This talk examines how we first thought of black holes\, what effects they have and how they evolve.

SUMMARY:Nicholas Booth - Mars: The Clearest View
DESCRIPTION:With three new missions heading to Mars\, Nicholas Booth will discuss our changing perceptions of the Red Planet. For the first time in forty years\, NASA will be looking directly towards life – and Nick will tell the story of how people have thought they have discovered life in recent years. He will set the scene for the next great space spectacular – the return of samples of Mars within a decade. Having reported the subject for many years\, Nick will also tell some lesser known stories about this great scientific quest of our age – obtaining our clearest view of Mars \n\n\n\nNICHOLAS BOOTH is a writer and broadcaster. He started his career with a book about Mars in 1988 and his latest – co-authored with the Canadian science writer Elizabeth Howell – is “The Search For Life On Mars” based on their joint reporting over the last thirty years. They tweet as @search_mars \n\n\n\nYou can watch this talk for free on YouTube:  \n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/lZ1Ua06cB04

SUMMARY:Steve Tonkin - Two Eyes are Better than One
DESCRIPTION:The binocular is not limited to being a beginner’s instrument and a subordinate adjunct to a telescope\, but is an exceptionally valuable astronomical instrument in its own right. Find out how to choose and use binoculars for astronomy: discover what makes a good (or bad!) binocular\, distinguish between valuable information and advertising hype\, and learn how to optimise your viewing experience. \nSteve writes the monthly Binocular Tour for Sky at Night magazine\, as well as running The Binocular Sky website specifically for binocular observers. \nYou can watch the talk live on YouTube: https://youtu.be/L2RqHuv24P8

SUMMARY:Prof Rob Jeffries - Gaia: the billion star mapping machine
DESCRIPTION:Professor Jeffries is from the astrophysics group at Keele University. \n\n\n\nThe European Space Agency Gaia satellite was launched in December 2013. The aim of the mission was to map the precise positions and motions of a billion stars and nearer objects in our own Milky Way Galaxy and solar system. In April 2018 Gaia released its intermediate results catalogue\, which gave us the first fruits of its labour. \n\n\n\nIn this talk I will briefly explain how the Gaia satellite works\, and then spend most of my time explaining what kind of science Gaia can do\, and showing some of the remarkable results and insights that have emerged from the first half of its enormous dataset\, including the making of our Milky Way and the births\, lives and deaths of stars There will be an inevitable skew towards my own speciality\, which is understanding how stars like the Sun are born in clusters and associations and how those clusters disperse to become part of the Galactic population. \n\n\n\nThis talk is free to everyone – watch on the link below: \n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/NowjQ5CqvqQ

SUMMARY:Dr Julian Onions - Things that go bang in the night (sky)
DESCRIPTION:Julian Onions from Nottingham University has given lectures to us before and is apparently something of an expert in online presentations. Who Knew?\nHe has given us a lot of help here because we needed guiding by the hand\, it’s all new to us and this is our first offering\, but we intend to do a lot more. Thanks Julian. \nThis is the link to the talk that he has set up for the talk we have chosen: “Things that go bang in the night (sky). A look at some of the most explosive events in the night sky.  From supernova to hypernova to colliding black holes and others\, what makes the biggest bangs?” :- \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zKrLsiPdWo \nWhen you click on the link at the moment you get directed to the YouTube page where the talk will be hosted. \nThe lecture will be followed by a Q&A session to which everyone is invited\, done on the Zoom video conferencing platform.\nJulian will set this up nearer the time and we will share the link with you a day or so before the talk.

SUMMARY:Mike Frost - Lady astronomers of the BAA
DESCRIPTION:The British Astronomical Association was founded in 1890. Right from the start\, the membership included talented lady astronomers. In part this was because the Royal Astronomical Society did not admit women at this time. This talk tells the stories of many of the lady pioneers of the BAA.

SUMMARY:Dr Julian Onions - The Far Side of the Moon\, is it full of Aliens?
DESCRIPTION:In a change to the originally scheduled talk\, Dr Julian Onions will return to give us his talk on the far side of the Moon. \nThe Moon is a shy body\, it only ever shows one sides of itself to the Earth. Before the space age\, we had no idea what was on the far side of the Moon. This has led to a number of conspiracy theories that it is a haven for aliens.  In this talk\, we’ll chart the progress of how we got to see what was on the far side of the Moon\, and what we found there. Tin foil hats are optional!
