Astronomy trip out, yesterday
I travelled to London on the train, to attend the quarterly meeting of the SPA.
These meetings are always held at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies), which is part of London University and located just off the splendid Russell Square in Bloomsbury.
In the morning, there was the SPA Council meeting, but at 2pm the main interest of the day began – the quarterly members’ (and their guests) meeting.
There were a number of entertaining and informative talks, but the highlight was Professor Derek Ward-Thompson from Cardiff University.
He presented on the formation of Stars and Planets, using recent long wavelength (radio) evidence.
I left the meeting with the strong impression, the human race is beginning to understand our ancient origins.
Quite astonishing.
Come to the next SPA meeting – I recommend it.
