This week we welcome Martin Crow to the Club to explain Exoplanets and the ExoClock project.
The science of Exoplanets is a relatively new and very exciting area of astronomical research. It is also an area where the amateur astronomer has an important role to play. Scientifically useful observations can be made using relatively modest equipment and the data used to support the successful outcome of ARIEL, a new space based observatory to be launched in 2029.
Martin Crow is an amateur astronomer who is a member of the British Astronomical Association, a trustee of the Crayford Manor House Astronomical Society Dartford and a member of East Essex Astro.
This week we have Dr Brad Gibson explaining "how to create a universe in side a computer".
Dr Brad Gibson is one of the UK's most prolific Science Communicators, delivering more than 1000 talks to students and the public over the past decade.
Brad held the Chair in Theoretical Astrophysics at the University of Central Lancashire, and served as Deputy Head of School (Biological Sciences and Electrical Engineering) at Swinburne University in Australia.
