EXPLORING THE UNIVERSE

Tuesday evenings 6.30 - 8.30pm for six weeks 18th February to 25th March 2025.

This course will take place in the Dalhousie Building, University of Dundee, Room 1S18.

Are we humans alone in the cosmos? Take a voyage through space with this six-week course and discover the universe as revealed by twenty-first century astronomy. From the surfaces of nearby planets and moons to the distant realms of the stars and galaxies, we'll explore our amazing cosmos and even(finally) try to answer some of the big questions -where did it all come from, and are we humans alone?

Tutor : Brian Kelly

Brian was formerly City Astronomer for Dundee at the Mills Observatory.

A graduate of Edinburgh University, he joined the public education team at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh in 1985 before moving to the Mills Observatory in Dundee in 1990. At the Mills, Brian introduced thousands of visitors to the night sky through public observing sessions and planetary shows, and provided regular astronomy features for the Courier and Radio Tay.

Brian is currently Development Officer for Dundee Heritage Trust however astronomy remains his first love and he gives regular talks and lectures on various aspects of astronomy and space science and likes to spend clear nights with a telescope, binoculars or just the eye alone, exploring the universe for himself.

Comments from his courses with LLD held in 2023/24:

“Brian Kelly is a truly wonderful and generous presenter - he has such a breadth and depth of knowledge on astronomy yet communicates in very clear and simple terms and is very open to answering any questions”.

“Great class, well paced and interesting subject matter”.
