As well as not supporting modern features and web standards, old versions of browsers - especially Internet Explorer - can expose your computer to security risks. The Browse Happy website has a list of the latest versions of all major browsers, including Internet Explorer (but remember Windows XP only supports up to IE8!)

If updating/changing your browser is not possible, do not panic - all of the LAS website is still available to you and we are working to make the layout compatible with outdated browsers.

Introduction to Radio Astronomy, Wednesday 1st August, 2018

Wednesday, 1st August 2018 @ 19:00 - 21:00 BST

Free

Please note, the date of this event has changed to the 1st of August – it was previously scheduled for 18th July

As part of the informal activities initiative, Mr. Andy Sierslowski from The Astronomy Centre in Yorkshire will be visiting us to show members how they can do radio astronomy from their own homes.
Andy has a love of both visual and radio astronomy, and is a true ‘professional’ amateur, making his own aerials which can detect objects such as the sun and Jupiter, as well as meteorites (via reflected radio signals). It’s a fascinating branch of astronomy, and of course it doesn’t have that requirement of a cloudless sky to be able to enjoy it.

There is no need to book ahead for this, and it will take place in the relaxed atmosphere of Pex Hill. The primary audience for this event is LAS members.
