Pluto

Graham Bryant:- 'Pluto': from Myth, Discovery to New Horizons

The talk will include any of the latest announcements from the New Horizons team, which are coming in all the time now.

Graham Bryant; he is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and Chairman of the Hampshire Astronomical Group. He has been involved in astronomy for over 46 years, and lectures across Southern England and has presented papers at National and International Conferences.

The Vectis Astronomical Society meets on the 4th Friday of every month, except for December. This event is open for non-members to attend. The speakers come from all over the country and give a presentation for around 45 mins. We then stop for a break with tea and biscuits, which gives an opportunity to mingle and chat.

The second half of the evening sees a presentation by one of our regular members showing us what to we could see in the sky over the coming month. This always involves some great pictures projected onto the large screen. Entry to the event is free of charge, although as we run as a charity, donations are always welcome.

Newsletters are available at the entrance for a suggested donation of £2.00

Please see our website for contact and membership details.
