We will meet in CEL 015 in the CELS building. The event starts with some fascinating stories about the Moon. Robert Francis (CELS) will talk about Viking myths and religion, and the importance of the night sky to them. Alison Davies (CELS) will read her enchanting tales: The Man in the Moon, and other Magical Lunar Myths! Graham Compton (School of Science and Technology) will explain how the Moon provides light and a powerful cyclic influence for animals living in tidal situations. After a tour of the NTU observatory visitors can study interesting objects in the autumn sky through the observatory’s 20 inch telescope, small telescopes, and binoculars. If the weather is poor, a small planetarium session will be offered in the observatory pointing out objects of interest. No booking is required for this event.
