How does it create the glowing light display in the sky we know as the Northern Lights?
How do we record the Northern Lights, and what can this tell us?
With the recent sightings of the Northern Lights across the UK, excitement around the green spectacle in the sky has never been so high. Join Lancaster University’s own Dr Maria Walach, a Senior Research Associate in the Physics department who is researching the Northern Lights, as she explains how the Aurora Borealis is generated, how we measure and study it, and how it can affect our lives.
The talk will end with a Q&A, followed by a free drink and the opportunity to get hands on with activities and demonstrations from our Physics department to find out more about the amazing work they are doing in and around Lancaster.
This will be the last Public Lecture before the programme takes a break for summer and relaunches in October, so book your ticket now to avoid disappointment!
