“Summertime astronomy” by Trevor Wood and “The value of pi in radio astronomy. An outreach project for cloudy nights” by Colin Brooks
This week we have 2 talks. Summer’s long days are here, and this means very little time for nighttime observing. But there’s plenty to see in the sky in the days too. This will be followed by a talk and demonstration of his home-made radio telescope(s) by Colin.
