Chat with us on ZOOM on the 1st Friday of the month at 8pm.
Once a month at 8 pm on the first Friday each month we will be chatting with members about any astronomical topics and keeping up with the latest in academic and space industry news. At the same time the content of the chats will be written up in .pdf form and released as a monthly round up for members. They will contain a lot of links to professional and academic content and form a part of the story of astronomy and space industry activity as we go forward.
