Info: Astronomical dust is the ugly duckling of the universe. Unglamorous at first glance, this principal solid-state component of the cosmos, reveals its beauty only in the infrared domain. I hope to show how interesting the study of star dust can be by reviewing its generic properties and specifically addressing its formation in novae. Three exciting results from our recent work on dust will be presented.

Location: Burlington House, London, United Kingdom ([http://maps.google.com/maps?q=51.508759,-0.139351 map])
Info: Dr Roberto Trotta, of the University of Oxford and Norman Lockyer Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, will discuss the 96% of the Universe that remains largely unknown to modern science. One of the most surprising discoveries in cosmology is that most of the Universe's contents are dark. Some 25% of the "cosmic recipe" is made of mysterious dark matter, and 70% is in the form of an even more puzzling "dark energy", which appears to be ripping the Universe apart. Dr Trotta will explain how spectacular cosmological observations reveal the existence of this "dark Universe", and show that the stuff we are made of is only a tiny fraction of the cosmos. Cutting-edge methods and instruments allow cosmologists to study this invisible Universe and Dr Trotta will outline how scientists are using these to understand the nature and properties of dark matter and dark energy.

11 March, 13:00 to 14:00. Royal Astronomical Society: [http://www.ras.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1364&Itemid=146 Stonehenge and beyond: the sky and ancient cultures]Location: Burlington House, London, United Kingdom ([http://maps.google.com/maps?q=51.508759,-0.139351 map])
Info: Was Stonehenge, as many have suggested, some form of ancient observatory? There is no simple answer to be revealed just by scrutinising the stones. Clive Ruggles, Emeritus Professor of Archaeoastronomy, University of Leicester, will describe how astronomers and archaeologists can get some important clues by looking more broadly at how ancient cultures worldwide related to what they saw in the sky. In the absence of written evidence, these clues are man-made objects, human debris, and the layout of monuments and buildings. There are also valuable insights from beliefs and practices that have survived among indigenous peoples in the modern world. During his talk Professor Ruggles will look at evidence from across the world: from Ireland to continental Europe, the USA, Australia, Polynesia and Ethiopia, before finally returning to prehistoric Wessex.

Info: In his talk Dr Francisco Diego, University College London and STFC Science and Society Fellow, will discuss how modern astrophysics explains our intimate relationship with the stars. For thousands of years, humans have marvelled at the night sky and established fascinating links with the stars, which at first sight seem to be eternal and unchanging. In this lecture, Francisco Diego will deal with early astrological beliefs stating that our destiny is controlled by the stars in some magical way. He will explain how the fascinating discoveries of modern astrophysics show that our relationship with the stars is far more intimate and magical than we could ever have imagined. Like people, stars have their own lives. Dr Diego will show how the lives of stars relate to not just our own origin and destiny, but to that of everything around us.

Location: Burlington House, London, United Kingdom ([http://maps.google.com/maps?q=51.508759,-0.139351 map])
Info: Astronomy, and popular interest in it, flourished to a remarkable degree in Britain in the nineteenth century, women being among its votaries. In her talk Dr Mary Bruck, Emeritus Lecturer, University of Edinburgh will outline the little-known contribution of women to astronomy - from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries. Enterprising amateur astronomers had private observatories for serious research, assisted in many cases by female family members. Dr Bruck will explain how later on, ndependently-minded women with university degrees sought proper professional careers in science, with only limited success. The path to equality was to be a very slow one. Dr Bruck's lecture will describe the lives and contributions of some of these interesting women, including the famous comet discoverer Caroline Herschel (sister of William, discoverer of Uranus and the first President of the Royal Astronomical Society).

17 to 18 January. University of Mississippi: [http://www.spacelaw.olemiss.edu/activitiesandevents/2008/RSL2%20Program.pdf The Second International Conference on the State of Remote Sensing Law]Location: University of Mississippi, USA

Location: Pasadena, California, USA
Info: At the end of World War II, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory was at the crossroads. Should this outgrowth of Caltech continue to build rockets for U.S. Army in peace time? The answer came with the coming of the Cold War. Yet by 1956, JPL was already seeking a new role and had set its ambitions on teaming with the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville to launch the first satellite into space. Denied that opportunity in 1956 by the Eisenhower administration, JPL and the Von Braun rocket teams could only watch in frustration as the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first satellite, in October 1957. Following Sputnik and with the explosion of the U.S. Vanguard rocket just weeks later, the White House, in desperation, turned to the JPL and Huntsville team, which then successfully launched Explorer 1 into orbit less than 90 days after being given the go-ahead. JPL and the Beginnings of the Space Age charts the transformation of JPL from a provider of ballistic missiles to the moment it set out on the path to become the world's preeminent explorer of the solar system and beyond.

Info: Where in the world will our energy come from? What would it take for the world to get away from fossil fuels and switch over to renewable energy? It takes more than willingness to buy a Prius or to install solar panels on your roof. If we want to use wind, solar thermal, solar electric, biomass, hydroelectric and geothermal energy it will take a lot of planning, and willingness on the part of governments and industry. It takes R&D investment, a favorable price per unit of energy to get anyone to produce alternative energy, and plenty of resources to create those energy sources.

Info: Only two moons in our solar system are thought to have liquid water, and evidence collected by the Cassini spacecraft during multiple flybys suggests that Saturn's moon, Enceladus, could have liquid water reservoirs that erupt in Yellowstone-like geysers. Cassini has collected data, including high-resolution images of Enceladus' warm, south polar region, which reveal icy jets and towering plumes of particles and vapor ejected at high speed. Warm, low-density material rising to the surface could have literally caused Enceladus to roll over, putting the mass of warm material at the south pole. Tidal forces that squeeze and stretch the moon are a likely source of internal heat, but imaging and compositional data from the closest flyby yet of this intriguing satellite, earlier this month, may provide even more clues. We explore the mysteries of the fascinating world of Enceladus and investigate its place in the Saturn system.

Info: The Solstice Project's investigations at Chaco Canyon since 1977 changed forever our picture of the ancient people who built that amazing complex--and why they did it. New light on the solstice markers, lunar and solar alignments, and insights into the enigmatic Chaco roads system are revealed in the nine important and richly illustrated papers in Chaco Astronomy: An Ancient American Cosmology. Anna Sofaer, who encountered the now-famous "Sun Dagger" site in 1977, has pursued Chaco's cosmological enigmas for the past 30 years with remarkable determination, intelligence and insight.

Info: NASA's Genesis sample-return mission collected solar-wind samples outside of Earth's magnetosphere and returned them to Earth for analysis. Isotopic and elemental relative abundances of the solar wind will provide a cornerstone data set for theories on how, starting some 4.6 billion years ago, the solar nebula transformed into the present solar system. Built by Lockheed Martin Space Systems and managed by JPL, Genesis was launched from Kennedy Space Center in August 2001. It was then placed into a halo orbit around the L1 Lagrange point, where for 886 days it passively collected solar-wind samples that buried themselves in specially created materials. After the collection period the spacecraft closed itself up and, in rather dramatic fashion, returned samples to Earth on September 8, 2004.

Info: The Phoenix spacecraft's landing system hearkens back to the Mars landing system design used by the Viking landers of the 1970s - and closer still to its cousin, the lost Mars Polar Lander of late 1999. How does it work and why does it land so differently than the Mars rovers? Odder still, why does the landing system now planned for the big 2009 rover different from either the Phoenix lander or the rovers? What happened to the airbags? Have JPL's engineers gone off the deep end, or is there a method to their madness? Where is all this design diversity leading? Will humans land on Mars using these systems? JPL's Rob Manning will attempt to clear the Mars dust off this murky story.

Info: The solar corona accelerates into space to form the supersonic solar wind and push the interstellar medium out of the solar system to distances beyond 100 AU creating the Heliosphere. It also carries the Sun's dipole magnetic field into the Heliosphere filling it with magnetized plasma. The Heliospheric Magnetic Field (HMF) prevents the interstellar plasma and magnetic field from penetrating into the Heliosphere leading to a sharp boundary separating solar and interstellar plasmas. The magnetic dipole is tilted to the Sun's rotation axis and, as the Sun rotates, fast and slow winds interact introducing internal structure and dynamics. Helisopheric dynamics are further enhanced by the penetration of some interstellar constituents into the Heliosphere, namely, neutral gas, electrically- charged interstellar dust and Galactic Cosmic Rays. The structure and dynamics of the heliosphere are profoundly affected by the changes in the solar magnetic field that cause the solar cycle. These physical phenomena will be reviewed based on 17 years of 3D observations by Ulysses, the first spacecraft in a polar orbit that passes above the Sun's polar caps.

Info: A great earthquake is an inevitable part of California's future, and Californians are not ready for it. One of the most likely great earthquakes that could hit southern California is one on the southern San Andreas fault. That fault is so long that magnitude 7.8 earthquakes are common (the length of the fault determines the magnitude of the earthquake). The fault moves so fast that earthquakes happen on average every hundred years or less; the last was in 1857. This is the earthquake we all must be ready for. To help, the scientists of the U.S. Geological Survey, California Geological Survey and many other organizations are working together to create a scenario that will describe just what that earthquake and its consequences will be like.

Info: Building on the success of the two rover geologists that arrived at Mars in January, 2004, NASA's next rover mission will depart for the Red Planet in 2009. Twice as long and five times as heavy as the Mars Exploration Rovers, the Mars Science Laboratory will collect Martian soil and rock samples and analyze them for organic compounds and minerals which demonstrate that Mars can or did support life. This sophisticated science laboratory will be delivered to the Martian surface using an innovative new landing system. The spacecraft will start by steering itself through the Martian atmosphere in a fashion similar to the way the Apollo entry capsule controlled its entry through Earth's upper atmosphere. This approach will allow the spacecraft to fly to a desired location above the surface of Mars before deploying its parachute for the final landing. Then, in the final minutes before touchdown, the spacecraft will activate its parachute and retro rockets before lowering the rover package to the surface on a tether.
Info: Building on the success of the two rover geologists that arrived at Mars in January, 2004, NASA's next rover mission will depart for the Red Planet in 2009. Twice as long and five times as heavy as the Mars Exploration Rovers, the Mars Science Laboratory will collect Martian soil and rock samples and analyze them for organic compounds and minerals which demonstrate that Mars can or did support life. This sophisticated science laboratory will be delivered to the Martian surface using an innovative new landing system.

November 2008 (add/edit event - how to add events)
13 and 14 November. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory: [http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/events/lectures/nov08.cfm von Kármán Lectures: New Worlds: Exoplanet Discoveries from the Spitzer Space Telescope]Location: Pasadena, California, USA
Info: New discoveries streaming back from the Spitzer Space Telescope continue to surprise and amaze everyone. No one could have predicted some of the amazing things we're finding, not even the mission scientists themselves! Spitzer has proved itself to be a true pioneer in the characterization of extrasolar planets, providing the first real, if crude, weather map of a world around another star over 250 light years away. We're also finding evidence of planet formation in the oddest places, from the cool, dark space around brown dwarfs to the hard-radiation baked environment near neutron stars. Come watch sunrise and sunset around a massive Jupiter-like planet, or trace high-velocity winds on an alien world where we've found water vapor in the cloud-tops. With Spitzer, these new worlds are becoming real places to us, challenging us to imagine even more.

December 2008 (add/edit event - how to add events)
11 and 12 December. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory: [http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/events/lectures/dec08.cfm von Kármán Lectures: Space and the Mystery of Dark Energy]Location: Pasadena, California, USA
Info: In 1998, two groups presented startling evidence that the expansion of the universe is accelerating, and the term "dark energy" was coined as a label for the cause of the acceleration. What is the nature of this mysterious component that we now believe makes up more than 70 percent of the energy density of the universe? What types of evidence for dark energy are there, and how solid is it? What techniques will yield better answers? What are the next steps? These are a few of the questions that have captured the attention of cosmologists as well as the general public. This talk will attempt to explain the questions and a few of the answers.
