Luke’s lecture is entitled: \n“Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation: Ripples from the Big Bang”\n\nThere have been lots of amazing astrophysical discoveries in the 20th century including the first pulsars\, the birth of radio astronomy and even the first attempts at using supernovae to explain stellar life cycles. One of the most important however has been the discovery and subsequent understanding of the microwave background radiation (CMB) – the peculiar relic signal that echoes from the Big Bang epoch itself. In this lecture\, I will broach the history of the Big Bang and how it was discovered\, discuss what the fuss is all about: how a tiny ripple in a sea of light can give us the subtlest of clues about our own universe’s understanding. I will try to link in recent research and modern satellites\, theories and other advances in the field of modern cosmology and how they relate to the CMB. To conclude\, I will talk about the most exceptional of advances in theoretical cosmology and how these tiny little flickers in the signal could potentially allow us to look even further back than before. \n\n\n  \nThis meeting will be held at our normal venue of the Quaker Meeting House\, but will also be live-streamed via Zoom and YouTube. \nSociety members have been sent a Zoom invite.\nA recording IS publicly available for this lecture »»» at this YouTube link. \nFor those attending at the QMH:\nPlease try to continue with social distancing and use caution when possible.\nAlso\, use the hand sanitiser that will be available.\nThe wearing of masks will be a personal choice and optional for those that wish to continue wearing them.\nWe will continue to ventilate the room.\nFinally\, please do not attend if you have any COVID-like symptoms or have tested positive for COVID that day\, or in the days leading up to the meeting. \n  \n\n \n\nSubscriptions for the current session would normally be due however fees are still being waived for the moment.

The Sun continuously ejects millions of tonnes of highly energetic\, electrically charged particles into space\, known as the ’solar wind’. \nWhen the solar wind reaches Earth\, it interacts with our planet’s geomagnetic field in extremely complex ways\, posing a danger to technological infrastructure such as satellites\, power grids and communications. We call this phenomenon ’Space Weather’. \nThis talk will guide you through the origins and journey of the Solar Wind from the Sun to the Earth\, describing some of these complex interactions and why they are so threatening to our existing infrastructure. Finally\, what are scientists doing in order to ultimately understand\, predict and mitigate the effects of space weather? \n\n  \n\n  \nPlease note\, due to COVID-19 this meeting is ONLINE-ONLY.\nSociety members have been sent Zoom & YouTube links. \nA recording IS publicly available for this lecture »»» at this YouTube link. \n  \n\n\n  \nWith best wishes – Mark URL:https://liverpoolas.org/event/monthly-meeting-mr-sam-walton-space-weather/ LOCATION:Merseyside CATEGORIES:All Events,LAS Meetings,Lectures and Talks,Monthly Meetings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20210521T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20210521T210000 DTSTAMP:20260428T110033 CREATED:20210515T230053Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220514T050452Z UID:11775-1621623600-1621630800@liverpoolas.org SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Mr. Paul Money - "Why Are There No Green Stars?"
