Target Earth: Impacts Large and Small – Feb. 9

This one is for the week of our February meeting. If you are in the area
you might consider taking it in.

Peter Brown is an excellent speaker. I hope he will address our club in the future.
Here’s the annoucement for your pleasure.

February’s ?Classes without Quizzes” lecture is called Target Earth: Impacts Large and Small. The Earth is constantly bombarded by asteroids and comets. Peter Brown, physics & astronomy associate professor at Western, will discuss the threat these extraterrestrial impacts pose, and how they also offer researchers unparalleled opportunities to better understand our solar system and how it formed. The lecture takes place on Tuesday, February 9 at the Medway Community Centre, Sherwood Forest Square, Wonderland Road North, London. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the lecture begins at 7 p.m.

“Classes without Quizzes” is a complimentary lecture series for the community offered by The University of Western Ontario. Join us for topical, entertaining and insightful monthly lectures by some of Western?s leading faculty, each taking place in different London locations through to Spring 2010.
