We are settling into our online format now and tonight was our second Society lecture held on Zoom. Swansea is currently on lockdown and UWTSD where we usually meet is teaching many classes online, so it is great to be able to get together online. Chris Bowden is doing a fantastic job of organising the talks and introducing the speakers - thank you so much Chris.
Here we all are!
Tonight, Paul Spurr gave us a very interesting talk on radio astronomy. While we often think of astronomy in the visual, there are many radio astronomy telescopes around the world, such as our own Jodrell Bank, Parkes Observatory in Australia that followed the Apollo 11 mission up to huge ones such as Arecibo and "FAST" (500m) in China - the largest in the world.
Although we are not meeting in person, it has been lovely you all on Zoom, and also to see some members who have been unable to come in person for various health reasons joining us online.
A real rogues' gallery there Gaynor!! Thanks very much - to you and the committee - for organising these Zoom lectures. They have been very interesting and speaking for myself I'm very grateful to what has been done
