IF CELEBRITY WATCHING is not your thing, perhaps a different kind of stargazing should be on the menu next week, specifically the BritWeek event Let There Be Light: Finding the earliest galaxies with Richard Ellis, taking place at the Griffith Observatory on Monday, April 21st at 7.30pm. This is a ticketed event and reservations are required.
An exciting evening exploring the universe’s greatest depths with one of the worlds leading astronomers, at one of the worlds most stunning observatories, it promises to be a spell binding evening for novice astronomers, enthusiasts and anyone seeking a deeper insight into the universe around us alike.
Awarded with the 2011 Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society, Richard Ellis, is also a member of the Thirty Meter Telescope’s (TMT) Board of Directors and Science Advisory Committee. He will address the progress and challenges of this fundamental quest for our origins, and discuss the future prospects with the next generation of giant 30 meter aperture ground-based telescopes.
