Discover how the Sun influences life on earth on this solar terrestrial physics study day.
Explore what we understand and what we still have to find out about the Sun and examine its relationship to the phenomenon of outstanding natural beauty that is the Northern Lights or Aurorae Borealis. How are these formed and what are their scientific significance? How do they relate to recent discoveries made by the Hubble Space Telescope concerning the auroras at Jupiter and Saturn? The day includes the opportunity to use Britain’s largest refracting telescope at the Royal Observatory and will be contextualised by a history of solar astronomy, 1600 – 1900.
