May 2024: Quantum talks

It’s that time of year again when Brighton Astro invites its members to take centre stage and talk on any subject they like for 10 minutes – as long as it is space related. This year we have a great line up and a brilliantly diverse range of subjects:

Simon Binns: I am a Lunatic
Simon discusses his love of and fascination with the moon

Russell Flawn: My neighbour and the conCERNing discovery of a Lepton Pair
A very brief history of the adventures of Carmen Hunt and her escapades at CERN as a student working with celebrity scientists when they discovered the Muon's secret twin sisters!

Julie McDermott: Astro for kids: encouraging curiosity about space through art
A look at ways to inspire kids to delve into the wonders of astronomy and visualise tricky concepts through hands-on creative activities.

David Sang: What stars are made of
How Cecilia Payne discovered the composition of the stars and invented the science of astrophysics.

Arrive from 7pm for a 7:30pm start.

For this meeting we will be at Wagner Hall on Regency Road, Brighton.
