Omens of Doom
Saturday 24th April 2021
Start time : 10:00
Speaker : CAA
In the past many cultures have seen comets as bringers of bad luck, death and decease. Ancient Chinese emperors employed observers specifically to watch for them, and some important decisions were made as a result.
One emperor even abdicated after the passage of a bright comet. Today we know a great deal about these elusive objects, and so far, there has been nearly 20 spacecraft sent to these icy bodies.
