Were you a bit of a science geek at school? This astronomy masterclass with Dr. Stuart Clark is a fantastic opportunity to reignite your passion and learn how the universe works. During the course, you’ll get answers to all those questions you wish you’d asked during physics class. What role does the earth play within the solar system? How did the universe begin? And what on earth is a black hole?
Using his vast reserves of experience and enthusiasm, Stuart will discuss everything from the development of the telescope to the impact of NASA’s recent New Horizon flyby to planet Pluto. Plus, you’ll learn about some of the methods astronomers use to understand the universe, and how they go about collecting and analysing data.
Stuart is one of the world’s most passionate and prolific astronomy journalists. He writes for the Guardian’s Spacewatch column and Across the universe blog, and has been placed alongside Stephen Hawking as one of the ‘stars’ of British astrophysics teaching. Don’t miss out on a phenomenal chance to go back to physics class, with the teacher you wish you’d had at school. Book your place now and let Stuart reinvigorate your curiosity about the origins of the universe around you.
