Mark Thompson: A Down To Earth Guide To The Cosmos
5 May 2013
Podcast
Guest speaker Mark Thompson astronomer and presenter of BBC Stargazing Live
To the untrained eye, the star-filled sky at night can seem as mysterious and unfathomable as it was to our distant ancestors. Learning about the Universe requires two distinct areas of focus: understanding the physical nature of the processes and objects amongst the stars and the ability to find objects and navigate around the sky.
"Mark is a wonderful promoter of astronomy, guiding the experienced amateur and complete novice with equal skill and passion."
Professor Brian Cox
In this event, Mark combines these two areas in a unique and engaging way, taking you on the same journey that has taken mankind thousands of years.
This event was part of our Family Fun Day.
