Coming soon…
- April 2026 – no SciBar
The first Tuesday in April is Easter Tuesday and many people are away so there will be no SciBar this month.
Our next session will be on May 5th.
- 5th May 2026 – The ABC of Galaxy Evolution

Dr Steve Barrett, a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of Liverpool, makes a welcome return, this time to describe the evolution of galaxies.
Although Steve’s research interests are centred around the applications of imaging and spectroscopy he has a passionate interest in astronomy which predates his professional career.
Steve will take us through the simple A-B-C of accretion, black holes and collisions… only it’s not that simple, of course.
To get the full picture, and to find out what is “coming our way” on the galactic scale, come along on Tuesday 5th May.
