Wonders of the Cosmos | Astronomy Education

presented by Colin Hill, Acting Astronomy Education Officer

Abstract: Astronomy is a natural science that studies celestial objects and phenomena. Tonight we condense the entire field of Astronomy into one lecture. This takes us on a journey from the searing heart of the Sun through the solar system and beyond into deep space to explore nebulae, clusters, galaxies and more.

Bio: Colin is employed as a biomedical technician at St. Andrew’s Hospital. He is a Life Member of ASSA and has been the Society's Beginner's Councillor for 16 years. He owns a Sirius observatory in Gawler where his main interest is Astrophotography. He is also participating in an international amateur search for habitable exoplanets and currently has an unconfirmed sub-Jupiter discovery around GL3470.
