Free FreeThe 'curious and ingenious' men who met at Gresham College and founded the Royal Society were fascinated by the Sun and Planets; the 'fixed stars' were a distant mystery to them. Over succeeding centuries, cosmic horizons have expanded - largely thanks to ever more powerful instruments. So has our understanding - though each advance brings into focus a new set of mysteries.
Following the lecture, there will be a discussion on topics of current astronomical interest, with an invited panel of former Gresham Professors of Astronomy. Lecture and discussion ends 8pm.
