Titled - "Into the deep and dark"
This is an opportunity to find out more about stars and the essential role that
they have played in the origin of life in the universe. The knowledge that
we have is based on work by amateurs and professionals obtained through
practical observation and cosmological theory. The weekend will include an
opportunity to visit the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI)
in Manchester.
The cost for the two days is FREE for BAA members, Affiliated Society members,
and accompanied children under 16 if booked in advance, and £5.00 for
non-members. The cost includes refreshments but not lunch. As numbers are
limited we ask you only to book if you are seriously intending to come.
The programme for the weekend is as follows:
Friday Eve: Dr Clive Dickinson – 'The Microwave Universe'
Saturday: Dr Eamonn Kerins – 'The hunt for Earth-2'.
Prof Andrew Lyne –'Cosmic cannon balls - The formation,
life & uses of neutron stars'
Mr Chris Rose - 'Macclesfield AS - Past, present and
future'
Prof Leszek Roszkowski - Title to be confirmed
Dr Stewart Moore - 'Planetary nebulae for the amateur'
Mr Jeff Lashley - 'Experiments in a Cambridgeshire field
- the story of an amateur radio telescope project'
Sunday: Visit the Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester - including the
CERN Collider Experience
Times: Friday 19:00 – 21:00, Saturday 09:15 – 18:15

Museum entry is free but there will be an opportunity to visit a special event
which will give you a chance to "Step inside the World's Greatest Experiment
- CERN's Large Hadron Collider". We have arranged a special group rate of
£4 for adult entry (it is normally £7) but this only applies if booked by
the deadline of 18th August. We will be on the 11 a.m. tour and have
arranged coach transport from Macclesfield at a cost of £9 return.
You will be able to leave your luggage on the coach as the driver will
be staying
