Our inaugral meeting - a talk by Professor Martin Hendry from the University of Glasgow.
For almost fifty years we have marvelled at the Star Wars universe. But how much real science is there on the big (or small) screen? Could we travel to other planets, crossing the vast distances between stars using shortcuts through hyperspace? What kinds of alien worlds might exist in our universe, and could they bear life forms like the creatures found in Star Wars? Could a Jedi Knight really fight with a lightsabre? Could the Death Star really blow up a planet? Join astrophysicist, black-hole hunter and life-long Star Wars fan Professor Martin Hendry on a journey to a galaxy far, far away!
Weather permitting we'll also have a community led stargazing session with local astronomers Dr Andy McGregor and David Lumsden.
