There will be two parts to our festive meeting.

First up will be Mark Holmes to present the second part of his talk entitled “Venus, from Antiquity, Myth to Hell”, which he started in our November session. Having preciously introduced us to Venus; running from antiquity to modern space probes and even the possibility of life in the Venusian atmosphere, he now moves on to describe how we might begin making observations of this fascinating planet.

That will be followed, after a special tea break, by Colin’s ever-popular Christmas quiz… and you don’t want to miss that!
