From: TerryMoselaol.com Date: 7 November 2006 23:55:14 GMT Subject: IAA & Robinson Lectures; Lindsay Centenary Hi all, 1. IAA Lecture: The next IAA public lecture will be by Deirdre Kelleghan, President of the IAS, on Wednesday 15 November, in Stranmillis College, Stranmillis Road, Belfast. The title will be "JPL's Robot Explorers" and it will look at some of the amazing spacecraft of the USA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which are exploring the Solar System. It's at 7.30 p.m., admission free, including light refreshments, and all are welcome. ARMAGH OBSERVATORY: Prof Mark Bailey, Director of Armagh Observatory, asked me to circulate the following details: 2. The 2006 Robinson Lecture will be delivered by Professor Eric Priest FRS, of the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St. Andrews. The lecture will begin at 7.30 pm on Friday 24 November 2006 in The Synod Hall, Abbey Street, Armagh,r йand is scheduled to end at 9.00 pm, followed by light refreshments. The title and abstract of Professor Eric Priest's lecture are: "Our Enigmatic Sun" For centuries mankind in societies such as the ancient Egyptians worshipped the Sun, and today modern observations from space have shown that the Sun is much more puzzling than we realised. Indeed, most of the fundamental properties of the Sun (which have important implications for the rest of astronomy) are not yet understood. The lecture will introduce you to the main properties of the Sun and will describe many of the modern puzzles, using the latest images and movies. It will also describe a trip the author took to Egypt to watch a solar eclipse, and will describe observations of huge ejections of mass from the Sun and their effects on the Earth. Attendance at the Robinson Lecture is free, but if you would like to attend the Robinson Lecture, please contact the Armagh Observatory in order to obtain tickets. Please write, telephone or send an e-mail to: Mrs Aileen McKee, Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh, BT61 9DG; Tel: 028-3752-2928; Fax: 028-3752-7174; e-mail: ambnarm.ac.uk.

I would also draw your attention to a future public event to mark the centenary of Dr Eric Lindsay, former Director of Armagh Observatory. This will be held in St. Patrick's Trian, Armagh, on Friday, 26th January 2007. The one-day conference will be followed by a public lecture to be given by Dr Allan Chapman (University of Oxford): "Robert Ball: Ireland's Astronomical Muse". More details on this event will be circulated later. Clear Skies, Terry Moseley
