Meeting ID: 850 5835 3034     Passcode: 419869

The field of astroparticle physics evolved out of optical astronomy.  It investigates things like high energy cosmic radiation and its research seeks to contribute to understanding dark matter and dark energy, among other questions.

As usual all are welcome, either “face to face” or on Zoom.  Details have also been sent to Usk AS and HOVAS.

The next meeting will be a General meeting of the AAS.  The last General Meeting we had was 9^th March, 2020, just before COVID forced us to suspend meeting for 2.5 years. I’m sure that no one can remember the details of that 2020 session but I have put an abbreviated copy of the draft minutes on the “Download” page : HERE.

Following the General meeting the plan is to have an open discussion on a relevant topic.  As mentioned in the last post we need someone to introduce a subject.  Nothing complex, just a topic of interest to them, ie a subject – video – or whatever that we could have a round table chat on.

So – who is willing to introduce such a topic??  If assistance is required don’t worry, I am more than happy to provide equipment, backup or whatever.

Usual time and place : 7:30pm, upstairs in the Hen & Chicks, Abergavenny.

See you there.

Over 11 years the ESA Gaia mission has made over 3 trillion observations of 2 million stars using 938 million camera pixels and costing 740 million Euros.

So, what have we learned from all this effort?

Usual Time & Place : 7:30pm, upstairs in the Hen & Chickens, Flannel St

As always everyone is welcome. Look forward to meeting up.
