Date:	Monday May 12th
Title:	Galaxies and dark matter
Speaker:	Phil James, Liverpool John Moores University
Description:	In present-day astronomy, the main processes occurring in stars are known in remarkable detail, and on the largest scales it is claimed that we are in an era of `precision cosmology', with the principal numbers that describe the content and the expansion of the Universe being known to within a few per cent.  However, the nature of galaxies, the systems of millions or billions of stars that comprise the building-blocks of the large-scale Universe, remains mysterious on many levels, in terms of their formation processes, what comprises the dominant material inside them, and indeed why they exist at all.  This talk will focus on both the recent advances and the remaining uncertainties in our understanding of galaxies.
Date:	Monday June 2nd
Title:
Speaker:	Tony Sung, Manchester University
Description:	Tony will be telling us about his research on the technologies needed in new houses to conform to the forthcoming zero carbon regulations
