SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Weekly Public Meeting at the Leighton Observatory\, Pex Hill - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus situation \nWhen and Where?\nWeekly public meetings are held every Wednesday evening (except at Christmas week)\, between 19:00 (7 PM) and 21:00 (9 PM) local time (e.g. 7pm BST in summer\, 7pm UTC in winter) in the Liverpool Astronomical Society’s Leighton Observatory. \nChildren who wish to visit must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. \nRegular Attendance\nWhile we do welcome members of the public\, we do ask you to consider that\, since everything is paid for from our Membership subscriptions\, if you find yourself attending a Weekly meeting more than 3 times\, or a Monthly meeting more than twice\, you might consider joining the LAS (the cost is minimal and there are a lot of benefits). \nOutdoors\nIf the weather is suitable\, LAS Members present will often have their telescopes and binoculars and members of the public will be able to view astronomical objects such as stars\, the Moon\, Jupiter\, the rings of Saturn\, etc. Don’t forget that the objects which are visible in the sky change throughout the year\, so you may not get a chance to see the particular object you were hoping for\, however\, assuming clear skies\, there is always something interesting to have a look at\, and maybe even a comet if we’re lucky! \nIndoors\nInside the building\, in good weather and bad\, there will be conversations and discussions taking place. We don’t tend to have arranged presentations at these public meetings however there is planetarium software\, astronomical images (many of them taken by our members)\, etc. \nSo good weather or bad\, feel free to pop along!Whether you’re a complete beginner or a professional astronomer\, or just interested\, we welcome you.Perhaps you’ve recently bought a telescope but don’t know how to set it up or get the best from it – bring it along with you (if it’s portable enough!) and somebody will be happy to help you. If it’s too big to bring along\, write down the manufacturer and model number\, and maybe a couple of photos if possible\, and if it’s a telescope we’re familiar with we may still be able to advise. \nIf you have any questions about our public Weekly Meetings\, please contact the Director of the Observatory. \n \nThe observatory is also available exclusively to LAS Members at other times of the week – please contact the Director of the Observatory for more information. \nLeighton Observatory in snow\, January 9th 2010

SUMMARY:Informal Talk: Dr. Jackie Bell - "Preparing for Astronaut Selection"
DESCRIPTION:This informal and/or short talk will take place on Friday\, April 23rd from 19:00 to 21:00. \nThese informal talks are for LAS members only. These talks will be much less formal than the main meetings; there won’t be any Society Business section at the start\, and they won’t be minuted.\nThe exact format will depend on the individual talk itself. \nCould you be the next European Space Agency astronaut? Join Dr. Jackie Bell\, mathematician and theoretical particle physicist as she shares her unique experience as a candidate on the BBC documentary series “Astronauts: Do You Have What it Takes?” (iPlayer link) and tips for this year’s astronaut recruitment and selection process. \nAs this is an informal/short talk\, there won’t be any Society business or minutes taken\, however Dr. Bell has kindly agreed that we can record the talk for later viewing by LAS members.\nAfter the talk itself there will be an open forum discussion for everyone to ask questions\, discuss the answers\, etc. \nThe session will be recorded for members to replay afterwards. \n\nPlease note\, due to COVID-19 this meeting is ONLINE-ONLY.\nSociety members have been sent Zoom & YouTube links. \nA recording IS available for this lecture\, to LAS members only\, on request.\nIf you still have the invite e-mail (sent 22nd April 2021 @ 19:42)\, you can also use the YouTube link from that.\n \n  \n\n \nWith best wishes – Mark

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Professor Derek Ward-Thompson - "How to Take a Picture of a Black Hole"
DESCRIPTION:The March 2021 monthly meeting of Liverpool Astronomical Society for the 2019 – 2021 (138th) session will be held on Friday\, March 19th from 19:00 to 21:00. \nI am very pleased to tell you that this Friday we have speaking for us Professor Derek Ward-Thompson of the University of Central Lancashire. \nThis talk\, which was highly requested\, was originally planned for March 2020\, however the pandemic derailed things. \n\nOur guest speaker will be Professor Derek Ward-Thompson\, Head of the School of Physical Sciences and Computing at the University of Central Lancashire\, Director of the Jeremiah Horrocks Institute and President of the UK Society for Popular Astronomy. Professor Ward-Thompson’s lecture is entitled: \n“How to Take a Picture of a Black Hole“\n\nIn April 2019 the first ever picture of the region around a black hole was published\, generating world-wide interest. The technology required to produce this image was extremely challenging\, to say the least. \nIn this talk I will endeavour to explain how this was done\, the technical challenges that had to be overcome and the technological breakthroughs necessary to achieve this. I will then explain what the results mean in terms of the astrophysical implications for this black hole\, which lies at the centre of the galaxy Messier 87. \nI will finish by discussing how the observations might help us to understand the theory of general relativity and test the theory in the limit of ‘extreme gravity’.\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 of this lecture is NOT available.\n \n  \n\n \n\nThe LAS e-newsletter is now included in your normal subscription cost \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:Informal Talk: Mr. Dave Eagle - Astro-imaging Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This informal and/or short talk will take place on Friday\, March 5th from 19:30 to 21:00. \nThese informal talks are for LAS members only. These talks will be much less formal than the main meetings; there won’t be any Society Business section at the start\, and they won’t be minuted.\nThe exact format will depend on the individual talk itself. \nDave Eagle joins us for a relaxed\, hands-on introduction to stacking and processing astro-imagery. \nThe format for the group will be with Dave as lead\, but it will be open and fluid with mics and cameras on if you want. People will be able to screenshare\, and if you have any image data you want to try things out on DURING the session\, you can upload it to our shared drive. Make a folder with your name\, and put your image data in it. You will be able to access other members images too so we have a selection of various images\, formats\, etc. \nPlease remember to compress your data as a Zip or Rar files BEFORE you put them on the shared area\, as the file sizes will be too big for us to store otherwise. If you have any questions that you’d like Dave to address on Friday\, please send them ASAP and I’ll will forward them to him. \nDave can cover various image processing software\, including: Affinity Photo\, Photoshop\, AutoStakkert!\, Registax\, Astro Pixel Processor and Astrosurface \nI know lots of you have taken many images over the past year and are eager to earn how to improve your techniques and share tips\, so come along!\nWhether you’re working with remote telescopes or from your garden\, it’s all the same\, join in! I’m looking forward to it! \nThe session will be recorded for members to replay afterwards. \n\nPlease note\, due to COVID-19 this meeting is ONLINE-ONLY.\nSociety members have been sent Zoom & YouTube links. \nA recording IS available for this lecture\, to LAS members only\, on request.\nIf you still have the invite e-mail (sent 1st March 2021 @ 17:03)\, you can also use the YouTube link from that.\n \n  \n\n \nWith best wishes – Mark

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting: Dr. Kevin Bowman - "Apollo 13: Lucky for Some?"
DESCRIPTION:The February 2021 monthly meeting of Liverpool Astronomical Society for the 2019 – 2021 (138th) session will be held on Friday\, February 19th from the earlier time of 18:40 to 21:00. \nThis month’s meeting is going to be structured a little differently than normal – it’s not so much a lecture as a cinematic documentary experience. \n\nOur guest speaker will be Dr. Kevin Bowman of the University of Central Lancashire.\nKevin’s presentation is entitled: \n“Apollo 13: Lucky for Some?“\n\nOn April 13th 1970 the Apollo 13 spacecraft was headed for the Moon\, passing 200\,000 miles from the Earth when an “incident” occurred\, crippling the spacecraft. There subsequently followed a chain of events triggering the greatest rescue ever attempted.\nIn 1995 Ron Howard directed the exceptional film Apollo 13\, which in his words “is a dramatization not a documentary of the events”. So what is the real story?\nThis Friday\, Dr. Kevin Bowman explains what really happened. Experience what it was like working in Mission Control as the disaster unfolded\, learn what did or could have happened\, and then you decide whether Apollo 13 really was “lucky for some”.\n \n\nRunning order\n18:40 – 19:00 : Warm up intro slides\n19:00 – 20:00 : Documentary runs\n20:00 – 20:10 : Break\n20:10 – 20:30 (estimated) : Society business\, etc.\n20:30 (estimated) onwards : Q&A\, then meeting officially closes \nBest viewed on a large screen with good speakers (and refreshments!)\nKevin tells me that this presentation is meant to be experienced as if you were at the cinema and is best viewed on as large a screen as possible\, with as much bass as you can give it\, so hook up your subwoofers and get your popcorn ready. \nIf you can connect your computer/laptop to your TV\, please do so 🙂 \nYou can invite friends and family\nIf you have friends outside of the Society who would like to watch too\, you can forward this e-mail to them and they can join in. \nKevin tells me that there are parts during the presentation where the audience is encouraged to ask each other questions\, discuss what’s on-screen\, etc. – please feel free to do this in the Zoom chat box (but not on camera/microphone\, or nobody will be able to hear the presentation 😉) \n\n  \nPlease note\, due to COVID-19 this meeting is ONLINE-ONLY.\nSociety members have been sent a Zoom link. \nUnfortunately\, due to legal restrictions we are NOT able to record for later viewing OR live stream this presentation to YouTube – only those present at the Zoom meeting will be able to watch. \nA recording is NOT available for this lecture.\n \n  \n\n \n\nThe LAS e-newsletter is now included in your normal subscription cost \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:Informal Talk: Mr. Robert Naeye - "The Possible Signal from Proxima Centauri"
DESCRIPTION:This informal and/or short talk will take place on Friday\, January 29th from 19:00 to 21:00. \nThese informal talks are for LAS members only. These talks will be much less formal than the main meetings; there won’t be any Society Business section at the start\, and they won’t be minuted.\nThe exact format will depend on the individual talk itself. \nIn this talk\, Bob Naeye will be joining us from America again. \nBob will be talking about the recent announcement of a possible signal from Proxima Centauri – what some have dubbed ‘the new “Wow!” signal’; what are the chances that it’s real\, and if it is\, what are the ramifications? Should we reply\, and if so who should have the right to speak on behalf of the entire world?\nA bit of a mix of astronomy and philosophy 😊 \nThe format of this talk will see Bob talking for the first part (other webcams/mics will be off during this)\, followed by an open discussion with all participants (with your webcams/mics on if you choose). \n\n  \nPlease note\, due to COVID-19 this meeting is ONLINE-ONLY.\nSociety members have been sent Zoom & YouTube links. \nA recording IS available for this lecture\, to LAS members only\, on request.\nIf you still have the invite e-mail (sent 8th  January 2021 @ 10:06)\, you can also use the YouTube link from that.\n \n  \n\n \nWith best wishes – Mark

We don’t tend to have arranged presentations at these public meetings however there is planetarium software\, astronomical images (many of them taken by our members)\, etc. \nSo good weather or bad\, feel free to pop along!\nWhether you’re a complete beginner or a professional astronomer\, or just interested\, we welcome you.\nPerhaps you’ve recently bought a telescope but don’t know how to set it up or get the best from it – bring it along with you (if it’s portable enough!) and somebody will be happy to help you. If it’s too big to bring along\, write down the manufacturer and model number\, and maybe a couple of photos if possible\, and if it’s a telescope we’re familiar with we may still be able to advise. \nIf you have any questions about our public Weekly Meetings\, please contact the Director of the Observatory. \n \nThe observatory is also available exclusively to LAS Members at other times of the week – please contact the Director of the Observatory for more information. \nLeighton Observatory in snow\, January 9th 2010
