Speaker #1: Mike Jenkinson

The Art and Science of Upside Down Astronomy - Doing it in the Southern Hemisphere

Mike has been lucky enough to visit Australia and South Africa with various bits of astronomy equipment. While it is well known that there are some spectacular objects only visible from southern skies, the mechanics of why things look different are often overlooked. Mike will explain some of the science, illustrated by a variety of photos and will have suggestions for what to do (astronomically speaking) when not looking up at the night sky.

Speaker #2: Ian Lauwerys FRAS

Meteorites - Choose Your Own Adventure

Ian knows lots about meteors and meteorites. In this talk, you'll get to pick what he focusses on. So whatever questions you have about space rocks, he should have an answer. He'll also bring on along some of his growing collection.
