It was very nice to meet all the young people who attended yesterday's meeting of the ISSP, and I was delighted to see so much enthusiasm shown by so many. We covered a lot of ground on the general theme of stars, but in summary yesterday's topics included;
- the constellations and how they change through the seasons,
- stellar spectral classes, and what the colours of stars can tell us,
- how to see sunspots using telescope projection,
- using transits to measure what time it is,
- and the stellar magnitude scale.
Here are just a few pictures from the session, and I'm sorry that not everyone is shown but I hope they help to remind you of what you did!
see you next week for the solar system, life in the universe and how we're going to find it!
