Oxford astronomer and BBC Sky at Night co-presenter Chris Lintott invites you to the magical world of the Zooniverse, where you can discover planets, explore distant galaxies and even travel on World War 1 ships without leaving your browser. The Zooniverse is the world's most popular collection of citizen science projects, which use the power of human pattern recognition to help scientists deal with millions of images and gigabytes of data.
Neutrino - the invisible messenger
Date: 18 Mar 2013 - 6:00pm - 7:00pm
Venue: Martin Wood Complex, Department of Physics, University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PU
Audience: General public (Age 14+)
Neutrinos are the most abundant particle in the universe and yet very little is known about them. They have no charge and are at least ten millions time lighter than the electron. They see almost all matter as transparent as vacuum which makes them very difficult to study. Without the existence of large source of neutrinos like the sun, cosmic rays or man-made nuclear reactors we may have never known about them.
Date: 19 Mar 2013 - 6:00pm - 9:00pm
Venue: Denys Wilkinson Building, Department of Physics, University of Oxford, Keble Road, Oxford OX1 3RH
Audience: General public (Age 8+)
