The usual time and place, 7:30pm upstairs in the Hen & Chicks, Abergavenny NP7 5EG
Philip Howell will be leading our discussion this month on the subject of
“Cosmic Rays : Messengers from the Extreme Universe”
Cosmic rays are high‑energy particles from space that travel at nearly the speed of light. Although it was known that there were ions in the atmosphere in the 18th Century it was over a 100 years later, in the 1900s, that it was shown that these rays came from outside the atmosphere.
Philip will explain what they are, where they come from and why they are important.
Come along and learn a bit more about these particles and share any thoughts you may have on their origin and importance.
“ALL ARE WELCOME” All you need is your curiosity!
