OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Spacecraft exploration of our solar system
For thousands of years, humanity has explored the Solar System by observing with the naked eye. Only for the last few hundred years since the advent of the telescope have we been able to get a closer view of some of our nearer neighbours.
But it is only in the last 60 years that our knowledge of the Solar System has been revolutionized by the advent of the space age. By visiting many of the most interesting objects in the Solar System, coupled with amazing technical developments in our instrumentation, our understanding of the Solar System has been transformed.
I will cover some of the most interesting and unexpected results of the space era study of the Solar System, including some of the missions with which I have been involved.
