David Elder Lecture - Prof Licia Ray

Glasgow Science Centre is proud to host the David Elder Lectures in partnership with the University of Strathclyde's Department of Physics. The David Elder lecture series presents a line-up of fascinating talks by expert astronomers, spaceflight pioneers, award-winning science writers and broadcasters. This lecture series continues the tradition of monthly astronomy lectures in Glasgow which began with the first David Elder Lecture in 1905!

This regular monthly programme of talks in The Planetarium runs over the winter months each year. Each lecture lasts approx. 1 hour and is best suited to older teenagers (aged 16 years+) and adults.

Come discover how Jupiter’s atmosphere is connected to the local plasma environment – and how this interaction leads to the some of the most exciting auroral emissions in the Solar System! This David Elder Lecture is presented by Dr. Licia Ray from Lancaster University.
