11 March, 13:00 to 14:00. Royal Astronomical Society: Stonehenge and beyond: the sky and ancient culturesLocation: Burlington House, London, United Kingdom (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.

Location: Pasadena, California, USA
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.
