Subject: IAA Lecture, Cosmos 04
Hi all,
1. A final reminder about the IAA lecture tomorrow (Wed) night, 4 February,
at 19.30, in Room 5, Stranmillis College, Belfast. Dr Alan Fitzsimmons, Reader
in the Astrophysics & Planetary Science Divsion, Dept of Physics, QUB, will
give a lecture entitled "What Happens When An Asteroid Misses?". Admission is
free, and all are welcome. We will also have a short preliminary talk by Dr
Damien Christian of APSD, QUB on the first images from the amazing 'SuperWASP'
astronomical 'camera' which they developed in the APSD at Queen's.
Alan is just back from an observing session at the European Southern
Observatory in Chile, and has put some of the pictures from those observations on
his website, as per the following email:
"I've put a small number of of pictures from my ESO observing run on the
web if you're interested... http://star.pst.qub.ac.uk/~af/piccies/ "
2. Details of the Tullamore Ast Soc's excellent annual Cosmos event are now
available; it's on 19 - 21 March (Friday evening - Sunday afternoon). It's
always a good programme, and good craic, with dark skies for observing if it's
clear. Here's the latest details, from Sean Morris:
"Check out www.seanie-m.com/cosmos.htm for the programme and accomodation
details."
Clear skies to all,
Terry Moseley
