Hi
We have yet another great talk lined up for you this coming Monday evening. It will be given by James Fradgley and is entitled “The Birth of the Solar System”.
James is a keen amateur astronomer based near Wimborne, Dorset and very active in the Wessex Astronomical Society. Since his original degree in Physics and Astronomy at the University of York, talking about stargazing and astronomy has been in his blood. He regularly supports astronomical societies all over the UK as well as Federation of Astronomical Society and British Astronomical Association weekend meetings. James has given talks on so many astro topics it was fun deciding what would best kick off the season. We decided on the Birth of the Solar System as it will cover lots of details. James has told me that “10 years ago this was a completely different talk, so great has our understanding developed since then, especially with what we’ve learnt from exo-planets, and includes discussion about the many different elements in the solar system”.
As ever doors open at 7.00pm, tea and biccies 7.15pm and the talk will commence at 7.30pm. We has 30 attendees at the last talk, existing members, new members and prospective members which is very gratifying when you consider the amount of time and effort I have put in to try to ensure that you have speakers twice a month, so please try to attend if possible.
