Event for HAS Members
Introduction to the Universe - a monthly astronomy talk.
An additional night for Hamilton Astronomical Society members, second Wednesday of each month.

Tonight’s Topic: A TOURIST’S GUIDE TO TITAN
Speaker: Jonathan Park (Hamilton Astronomical Society)

Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has lakes, seas, rivers and rain. But instead of liquid water, these are liquid methane, and instead of rock, we find ice frozen as hard as granite. The sky is a haze of organic molecules, with the occasional methane cloud in summer. The air temperature is a rather cold minus 179 degrees Celsius, and the seas and lakes are also about the same temperature. It's almost like Earth's super chilled twin. What would it be like to visit there? We will try to get a really good idea with the help of computer-generated images (and some real photographs)! As a tourist, you will find some interesting surprises!

For HAS Members, Weds 10 May.
