Our Annual General Meeting was followed by two talks. The first, from our President Gilbert Satterthwaite was a short tribute to the Pioneer 10 space probe, which has finally fallen silent. Gilbert gave us a brief overview of its contribution to planetary exploration, with particular emphasis on its images from Jupiter, the first ever close-up views of the planet. After the break our Chairman Greg Smye-Rumsby gave us an enthusiastic lightning tour of the Solar System using many fine illustrations displayed to excellent effect using the data projector.
An active organisation for everyone in Bromley and the surrounding areas with an interest in astronomy and space technology
