Merseyside Astronomy Day

The MAD combines a series of talks by professional astrophysicists with the excitement and interest of a day-out at Spaceport. The talks are spread through the day with some time to explore the Centre, take in a "Dome Show", talk to fellow enthusiasts or simply admire the views of the stunning Liverpool skyline.

Please note that this programme is a draft and may need to be slightly altered on the day.
Due to the nature of the venue, it will not be possible to admit latecomers to any talk, so please make sure that you arrive in plenty of time.

Please bring some fairly warm clothes - the air-conditioning in the lecture room cannot be completely shut off as it is needed to protect the large "Dome" projector.
