Prior Prior College Astronomy Society presents

Exploring the extreme universe

with former pupil, Dr Julie McEnery (PPA 1989)

Dr Julie McEnery Join us for intergalactic drinks and canapés before we listen to NASA Astrophysicist, Dr McEnery’s, talk: Exploring the Extreme Universe.

Julie will tell us about the dramatically new view of the universe given to us by the new Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. This view is dominated by black holes, ultra-dense and highly magnetic stars, remnants of stellar explosions, and much more.

Julie is a gifted scientist and speaker and has assured us that even the least space worthy amongst us will not be plunged into a dark dense hole of confusion and bewilderment.

Julie will also will review some of the scientific highlights from the past decade with an emphasis on the surprises and remaining unanswered questions.

There is a £10 entrance fee, but please feel free to make a further donation as all funds raised from this event will support the Society’s plans for a new observatory.

Gift Aid:

I am a UK taxpayer, and wish Blackbaud to claim Gift Aid on this donation on all donations I have made in the last four years and any future donations I make. I confirm I have paid or will pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6 April to 5 April) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities or Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs) that I donate to will reclaim on my gifts for that tax year. I understand that if I pay less income tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference. I understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give or have given in the last four tax years.: What is Gift Aid?
