Event Calendar

As the skies are too dark for stargazing, join Scarborough & Ryedale Astronomical Society to observe our nearest star, the Sun from the Dalby Forest observatories.  This series of events are weather permitting but if skies are clear, expect to see sun spots, prominances, and flares through a range of telescopes dedicated to observing the Sun safely and learn more about our star.

Please note, the forest toll charge is payable on entering the forest.

The guest speaker for the April meeting will be Prof. Sam Falle, Professor of Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics from the School of Mathematics at Leeds University who will be giving a talk on Supernovae.

An outline of the talk from Sam…….

A supernovae occurs when a star that is too massive to die quietly explodes at the end of its life. The energy released in this explosion is so great that the star becomes more than a hundred billion times as bright as the Sun for a period of six months to a year. The talk describes these events and uses the mathematical theory of explosions to illuminate the relationship between supernovae and explosions on Earth, particularly nuclear explosions.

The talk will be followed by refreshments.

The society will be visiting the Yorkshire Arboretum for an afternoon of solar observing.  See our Sun safely through a range of telescopes, seeing details such as sunspots, flares and prominances and learn more about our nearest star.

Please note that this event is weather permitting.
