The next meeting of the Lothians Radio Society will be on Wednesday February 8th at 7:30 for 8:00 pm at the Braid Hills Hotel. Dr. David Gavine will talk on "Aurora Explained" - how it is caused by disturbances on the Sun, what it looks like & how it was "explained" in the past, with plenty of illustrations.
Dr Gavine is retired from teaching astro-navigation and meteorology at Leith Nautical College (where Colin Wright GM4HWO was one of his students!) then maths at Jewel & Esk College. He is a Past-President of the Astronomical Society of Edinburgh, former Director of the Aurora Section of the British Astronomical Association, and an amateur astronomer. |
