The main talk of the evening will be given by Dr Daniel Moore will be: An introduction to meteorites – our personal connection to space. Meteorites provide a tantalising link to our solar system that we can hold in our hands. But where do they come from? Where are they found? Are they all the same?

In this talk, Daniel will provide an introduction to meteorites and answer some of these questions. The talk will examine some famous falls and finds (as well as explaining the difference), explain how you can get actively involved in meteorite research and finally provide a chance to handle some real meteorites.

After the break Mark Godwin’s 10 minute talk is : Ole Rømer, His observations of Jupiter’s moons and how that led to the discovery of light having a finite speed.

We meet at 19:00 for a 19:30 Kick-off.
