Eddington Astronomical Society

From: 03 March 2008

To: 03 March 2008

Astronomical news round-up at Kendal Museum from Kendal's very own astronomical society.

Eddington Astronomical Society (EAS)

Kendal's very own astronomical society was founded in 2004 by Kendal-born Philip Stobbart, to celebrate that year's transit of Venus.

The Society is named after Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, a famous and respected cosmologist who was born in Kendal. Eddington's studies of the life cycles of stars and the nature of the Universe, were praised by none other than Albert Einstein. Part of the Society's work is trying to make more people in Kendal and South Lakes aware of the achievements of Kendal's forgotten famous son.

EAS meets on the first Monday of every month, in the Wildlife gallery at Kendal Museum. Their meetings are very informal and open to everyone, regardless of age, experience or the equipment they own. So whether you're interested in the latest mind-boggling cosmological theories of Stephen Hawking, or just want to know how to start finding your way around the night sky, then you'll be made very welcome at EAS!

Admission Price: £2 (plus annual subscription £10 - £20)
7.00pm - 9.00pm

What are RSS Feeds?

RSS feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines and stories in one place, as soon as they are published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.

How do I start using feeds?

In general, the first thing you need is something called a feed reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. IE 7.0 has a good feed reader built in, otherwise try Feedreader.
