"Next Society Meeting Nov 13, 7:00pm
Our November 13 society meeting is on and we will be observing the appropriate COVID19 alert level restrictions of tracking attendance, wearing face masks and if we are still at Alert Level 2 keeping 1 metre apart required for social distancing.
Our first speaker of the evening will be Richard Hall,
with a short presentation titled
"Stellar Champions"
Followed by a special presentation by Kay Leather
"Life in the clouds of Venus – What does this really mean?"
Venus's surface may be too extreme for life to survive, but sunlight coming through the planet's thick clouds could support photosynthesis, resulting in the existence of microorganisms.
This is a deceptively simple statement but it implies a lot. In this talk Kay unpicks the claim.
