Wednesday 7 May, 7:00pm In this month's Astronomy Education, we'll take a look at the formation and evolution of the Solar System from a cold molecular cloud of dust and gas through to its ultimate end. We will discuss some common terminology and take a peek at solar systems beyond our own. Wednesday 7 May, 8:00pm Guest speaker Robert Purvinskis will be talking about developments in European Space Astronomy, with particular reference to Earth-orbiting satellites and the upcoming ESA missions to the Moon and the planets. Robert is a past Vice President of ASSA. He moved to Germany from Adelaide about 5 years ago. In Adelaide, he worked and studied at the Institute for Telecommunications Research at Mawson Lakes as part of the team that developed the Australian FedSat microsatellite. In Germany he works for Astrium, one of the largest European aerospace companies, where satellites are designed and assembled for national space agencies and ESA.
