8:10pm Asteroids
Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and forming a ring around the Sun are the Asteroids.
Are these huge celestial boulders the raw material of a planet that never formed? Or are
they the debris of a cosmic catastrophe – lost worlds? The nature and origin of asteroids and
meteors is the subject of this presentation by Kay Leather.

Extraterrestrials
Over the past decade hundreds of worlds have been discovered around distant stars. Is our
world, with its complex biology, just one of a multitude? If other biological worlds and alien
civilisations exist in the galaxy, what is their nature and where might we find them? Is or has
the Earth been visited by extraterrestrials? What would be the consequences of an
encounter with an alien civilisation? These are some of the topics under discussion in this
presentation by Richard Hall. This is a special programme organised for the public. Bookings
are essential. Society members free; public fees: adults $15, seniors $12, children $8
