THE SKY ABOVE, THE EARTH BELOW
September 6, 2024 → 9:00 pm ─ 10:00 pm
The Orkney Club, Harbour Street, Kirkwall
The archives of the Royal Astronomical Society, established just over two centuries ago, have original works by great astronomers from Copernicus onwards, and a wealth of beautiful images of the night sky – as the Society’s librarian and archivist, Dr Sian Prosser, describes. The editor of the Society’s magazine Astronomy & Geophysics, Dr Sue Bowler, shows images of the earth, from historic maps to modern geophysical imagery.
Numbers limited: advance booking strongly recommended.

The internal fires of the Earth from Mundus subterraneus by Athanasius Kircher (1678)
