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: BIS Headquarters, 27/29 South Lambeth Rd, London, United Kingdom
Info: With the decommissioning of the Space Shuttle and the completion of the build phase of the International Space Station it is timely for consideration of the next steps. NASA has returned to expendable launch systems and simple capsules, but Europe and other space fairing nations are still considering their next developments in launch systems and in orbit facilities. This symposium will provide a forum for consideration of what new capabilities are required and how they may be best met. (Add to Google Calendar)
