"From Kitchens to Comets - Hunting for molecules with a spectroscope"

Wednesday, 2020, May 6 - 19:00 to 20:00
 

This week's BAA webinar will introduce us to the fascinating topic of spectroscopy. Hugh Allen, Chairman of the Wells & Mendip Astronomers, will explain how the spectra of comets and carbon stars can tell us about the molecules they contain.

The presentation will be followed by Q&A with guest panelists Robin Leadbeater (SGL's @robin_astro), David Boyd and Andrew Wilson.

Details on how to join live via Zoom or catch up later on the BAA YouTube site are here.

Hugh Allen certainly maintained the high quality of the BAA webinars so far and explained a potentially complicated subject in logical steps.
