Stars in their Eyes - Astronomy Talk

While walkers are headed out to the hills over the weekend beginning on 10th October, I'll be hiking up the hill to Cusop Church on Friday 11th for a talk about medieval astronomy.
Martin Griffiths has been to the church before - then he was speaking about astronomy with reference to the Welsh myths, and he was absolutely fascinating. This time he'll be talking about art and objects from the medieval period that illustrate what they knew of the night sky.
He was a senior lecturer in astronomy at the University of South Wales, and has also worked for NASA. He's also involved in the Dark Sky Wales project.
Tickets are £6 (£4 for students), and the talk starts at 7.30pm.
