Dr. David Helfand, President of Quest University. The Universal Timekeepers: Reconstructing History Atom by Atom. By utilizing the basic building blocks of matter as imperturbable little clocks, we are now able to reconstruct in quantitative detail a remarkable range of human and natural events. From a detailed history of human diet and the Earth's climate to the events surrounding the origin of the Solar System and the history of the Universe itself, these universal timekeepers provide us with a precise chronology from the beginning of time to the moment humans emerge to contemplate such questions.

This is a day for family fun with astronomy and this year we'll have our two brand new solar telescopes available for viewing the sun in the afternoon, fun activities for the kids, astronomical displays and info on how to join the Royal Astronomical Society! At dusk there’ll be a multi media presentation in the amphitheatre followed by dark sky viewing in the park picnic area.

This is a free family event. Everyone welcome.
