SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting (Jeremiah Horrocks Memorial Lecture): Professor Andy Newsam - "Art & Astronomy: Universal Appeal"
DESCRIPTION:The February 2020 (Jeremiah Horrocks Memorial Lecture) monthly meeting of Liverpool Astronomical Society for the 2019 – 2020 (138th) session will be held on Friday\, February 21st from 19:00 to 21:00. \n\nOur guest speaker this month is Professor Andy Newsam of Liverpool John Moores University\, whose lecture is entitled: \n“Art & Astronomy: Universal Appeal”\n\nFor centuries science and art went hand-in-hand\, but more recently they seem to have diverged into two distinct “cultures”. However\, they still have much to gain from each other and in this talk Professor Andy Newsam will describe some forays by an astronomer into the world of art to try to explore challenging concepts with unsuspecting audiences. From computer music to dance\, theatre to gardening shows\, and exploring science from gravity and the nature of Dark Matter\, to the physics of breakfast\, we will see some ways in which art and science can work together\, and also perhaps ask whether the two cultures are really as different as they might at first seem. \n\n\nSubscriptions for the current session 2019-2020 are now very overdue and should have been paid by October 1st.\nIf your subscription was not paid by the end of January\, your membership rights (including voting) have lapsed.\nIf your subscription is not paid by the end of March\, your membership may end.\nPlease contact the Treasurer if you wish to become a member or update your subscription.\n \nAdult Annual Subscription is £15.00\nJunior Members Subscription (10 to 17yrs) is £5.00 \nThe LAS e-newsletter is now included in your normal subscription cost \n\nFree tea/coffee with light refreshments break will form part of the evening at about 8pm. \nPlease note – Doors will only open after 6.30pm and not before. \n\nI do hope you can join me and your fellow members\, but if you are unable to attend\, please indicate your apologies to me by filling out this form. \nWith best wishes – Mark

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting (William Lassell Memorial Lecture): Ms. Melanie Davies FRAS - "Titan: A candidate for evolution?"
DESCRIPTION:The October 2019 (William Lassell Memorial Lecture) monthly meeting of Liverpool Astronomical Society for the 2019 – 2020 (138th) session will be held on Friday\, October 18th from 19:00 to 21:00. \n\nOur guest speaker this month is Ms. Melanie Davies from Creative Space – a Community Interest Company delivering astronomy outreach and public engagement to all ages and abilities. From mobile planetarium shows to free astronomy events\, they’ve got space covered in a fun and creative way\, and her lecture is entitled: \n“Titan: A candidate for evolution?”\nSaturn’s moon\, Titan\, is a strange and mysterious world; it may even have the right ingredients for life. \nThe talk gives an overview of this Earth-like world and the space missions that have paid it a visit. This extraordinary moon is discussed in detail in this captivating presentation\, which features scientific findings\, audio and visual recordings from the Huygens Lander\, and ideas about the existence of Titanites. The presentation is full of exceptional images – both from orbit and on the surface – and is delivered in easy-to-understand language\, explaining the more difficult concepts in layman’s terms. \nThe European Space Agency\, along with NASA\, have played an important role in investigative science at Titan. Many discoveries have been made\, but many mysteries remain to be solved.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Radio Astronomy\, Wednesday 1st August\, 2018
DESCRIPTION:Please note\, the date of this event has changed to the 1st of August – it was previously scheduled for 18th July \nAs 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.\nAndy 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. \nThere 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. \nIf you would like more information\, please use the form below: \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n				Your Name *\n				 \n			\n			\n				:\n				 \n			\n			\n				\n				 \n			\n		\n		\n			\n				Your Email *\n				 \n			\n			\n				:\n				 \n			\n			\n				\n				 \n			\n		\n		\n			\n				Telephone\n				 \n			\n			\n				:\n				 \n			\n			\n				\n				 \n			\n		\n		\n			\n				Subject *\n				 \n			\n			\n				:\n				 \n			\n			\n				\n				 \n			\n		\n		\n			\n				Message *\n				 \n			\n			\n				:\n				 \n			\n			\n				\n				 \n			\n		\n		\n			\n				 \n				 \n			\n			\n			\n			\n		\n		\n			\n			\n			\n				\n				 \n			\n		\n	\nΔ

SUMMARY:Gravitational Waves: turning on the soundtrack to the Universe
DESCRIPTION:(Please note\, this is not an LAS organised event) \nThe last two years have seen our ability to study our Universe change forever. For the first time we have been able to not only see the stars in the heavens\, but to feel the very vibrations of the fabric of space-time produced when stars collide. In February 2016 the scientists of the international LIGO and Virgo collaborations announced the first detection of gravitational waves – tiny gravitational fluctuations sensed using instruments here on the Earth\, but produced around 1.3 billion years ago far out in the cosmos when two dead stars – in this case ‘black-holes’ spiralled in and merged. The existence of such gravitational waves was first predicted by Einstein as part of his\n‘General Theory of Relativity’ in 1916. \nIn the decades between then and now\, searches for such signals have been the focus of scientists around the globe\, including key work here in the UK.\nThis lecture will discuss the nature of gravitational waves\, the astrophysical events that can produce them\, the technology of gravitational wave observatories and the recent results in this new field leading to the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017 for the detection of gravitational waves: turning on the soundtrack to the Universe. \nProfessor Sheila Rowan is Director of the Institute for Gravitational Research\, University of Glasgow\, a position she has held since 2009. She received an MBE in 2011.\nSheila’s research is targeted at developing optical materials for use in gravitational wave detectors. Her work formed part of the “Advanced LIGO” detector upgrades\, carried out between 2010 and 2015\, that contributed to one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of this century: the first detection of gravitational waves announced in\nFebruary 2016. This resulted in a share of the 2016 Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for her and the members of her team in\nGlasgow. Professor Rowan was appointed Chief Scientific Adviser for Scotland in June 2016. \nBookings for this free event can be made at https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/events/science-and-society/form/
