This coming Friday and Saturday 4th and 5th February sees the ever popular European Astrofest at Kensington town centre, High Street Kensington. This year promises to be another action packed event.
The lecture topics include biographies (Fred Hoyle, Arthur Stanley Eddington), archeoastronmy, cosmology, lunar geology, spaceflight (Apollo), Mars, Near Earth Asteroids and even a comedienne!
This year also promises to be interesting as Brian Cox particle physicist and astronomer will be giving a talk saturday afternoon entitled "Recreating the early Universe", no doubt talking about the Large Hadron Collider. He will also be signing copies of his book "Wonders of the Solar System" during lunchtime on the Saturday. Going by past signing sessions from notable guest speakers like Patrick Moore, Chris Lintott and Brian May it probably is a good idea to queue up early to avoid the long queue to get your book signed. I believe Patrick Moore will also be there signing his latest book "Data Book of Astronomy".
There will be the usual plethora of trade stands strewn across three floors displaying plenty of equipment and gadgets, so there is always the opportunity to grab a bargain or two.
