A reminder of this year's final University of Natal astronomy meeting on Thursday evening.

The Aurora

The physics department runs a number of experiments at South Africa's research base in the Antarctic. One of these involves the filming of the Southern Lights or aurora (see image attached).

In this week's meeting we will see a video which explains the formation

of the aurora, and some of the research done by the space physics group will be discussed.

Also, the new University Astronomy Society T-shirt will be on sale for R30.
