Light: Astronomical Applications of Spectroscopy -James Fradgley

Some of the amazingly detailed things a few photons can tell us about the universe, by analysing spectra.
James is chairman of the Weymouth Astronomy Club and of the astronomy section of the Bournemouth Natural Science Society, as well as a committee member of the Wessex Astronomical Society. His BA was in Physics with Astronomy and He is an FRAS.

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
