SUMMARY:The Secret World of Moths - T390
DESCRIPTION:It’s often thought that moths are the drab creatures that eat carpets and clothes – this couldn’t be further from the truth! Moths are the hidden pollinator night shift\, and we have a fascinating range of them (over 800 of the larger species) right here on our doorstep – many of them with amazing stories to tell. \nLearn about the names of our moths\, many dating back to the 1790s\, offering intriguing insights into the world of the 17th and 18th centuries. Peter has previously given his popular talk on the Secret Life of Butterflies at the Institute. \nWe’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities\, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this\, please call the team or visit us in person.

SUMMARY:Comets: Icy Remnants of Creation - A Science Perspective (also online) - GI 26 054
DESCRIPTION:Comets\, ‘long-haired stars’\, have both fascinated and horrified us since ancient times. Astronomical observations from Earth\, and more recently data from deep space missions\, have revealed much about their nature and origin\, which in turn has given us important information about the formation of the solar system. Are comets harbingers of doom – or did they perhaps deliver life to Earth?
