The Galileo Lectures, from Radio New Zealand

April 14, 2011 6:04 AM

Galileo Lectures In 2009, to mark the 400th anniversary of Galileo first turning a telescope skywards, Radio New Zealand National, in partnership with the Royal Society of New Zealand, released this kickin' series of five lectures spanning the evolution of cosmology, extra-solar planets, near-earth objects, the nascent field of neutrino astronomy and prospects for the future as the Square Kilometre Array radio telescope comes online early in the next decade. It's a great listen and best of all, it's free to download as MP3 or Ogg Vorbis!

Thanks for this. There's six lectures in all though, rather than five.

joannemullen: #6 is the prize at the bottom of the cereal box. :-P
