Society monthly meeting recorded on 20250716 at The Briars Mount Martha Observatory.

Meeting introduction was by the President, Dr. Peter Skilton.

Vice President, Chris Kostokanellis, was absent for the meeting, so the Astrophotographic challenge for the month carries forward until next month. This was followed by Committee member, Dr. Guido Tack, presenting the Sky for the Month, including the new visitor to the Solar System from interstellar space.

The main topic was “Reflections on Presenting”, alternatively titled “Customs Confusion, Dinosaur Dung and Meteorite Mishaps” by Committee member, and experienced cruise ship public speaker, Trevor Hand.

A science video on the subject of “Does The Past Still Exist?” was then presented by Dr.Sabine Hossenfelder, Theoretical Physicist at Munich University, courtesy of her Science Without The Gobbledygook YouTube channel.

A musical closure followed, showing the “Evolution of the Moon after formation”. This is courtesy of NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre, using data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. It is set to the audio of “Titans” by Cold Cinema from the No Copyright Music channel.
