The British and Irish Meteorite Society

IAA LECTURE, 8 February: The Astronomical Association's next public lecture will be given by Dr Mike Simms, of the Ulster Museum: Title: "Giant Impacts, Evidence from Britain". Mike is well known to IAA members, having given us several excellent lectures in the past. Although primarily a palaeontologist he has a wide range of interests in the broad geological sphere, including meteorites, of which he has an enviable collection. He also specialises in the geological evidence for past major impacts, and this talk will reveal new evidence that such sites are to be found as nearby as Britain.

The lecture is on WEDNESDAY 8 February, at 7.30 p.m., in the Bell Lecture Theatre, Physics Building, Queen's University, Belfast. ADMISSION IS FREE, as always, and includes light refreshments. Everyone is welcome! Full details of the rest of the programme are on the website: www.irishastro.org
