Another BAA meeting, another Doug Talk. I'm only giving a short update on Spirit, but if any of you are in or around London on the evening of the 25th, pop along
 It's at New Hunts House, Guys Hospital, near London Bridge Tube Station - 17:00 for 17:30 till 20:00. The other speakers are the ever entertaining Martin Mobberley with his Sky Notes, and Chris Lintott (yes, the guy from The Sky at Night) talking on Cosmology:Into the Unknown - and....me doing an Update on the last year of Spirit (just about, the last time I talked to the BAA about Spirit was last April, so it'll be everything from Larrys Lookout to now really) Would be great to see anyone who can make it down there I'm also talking at the Out of London Weekend ( Fri 21st to Sun 23rd of April in Liverpool) , York AS on the night of June 2nd giving Spirits full story, and Opportunity's full story on Sat, Dec 16th (1430 - 1730) at the London Bridge venue again More info, ish, at www.britastro.org Doug |

Just found out - I've got 40 minutes in the 25th- just about right to cover Spirit properly since last April

That went really rather well - didnt get too long, about 30 minutes, but there was a good reaction, and they particularly enjoyed the astronomy that Spirit's been doing.
Roll on April Doug |

I figure that if I hide well enough, no one will come up, ask me to do another talk, and re-decorating the bedroom get's delays another week

tty, the MER have been doing mainly geology, but don't forget they also looked up during the night to check the positions of stars and to take a look at the Martian moons Phobos & Deimos... the latter is of course Astronomy!
