8-9 February. Astronomy Now: European Astrofest 2008
Location: Burlington House, London, United Kingdom (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: 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: Burlington House, London, United Kingdom (map)
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.

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).

In August, astronauts aboard the space shuttle Atlantis will carry out one of the most difficult repairs in history, with the aim of restoring the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to full working order. Since its launch in 1990, HST has overcome the problem of its flawed mirror to produce a multitude of important scientific discoveries. This lecture will tell its story, and look forward to discoveries still to be made.
