OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
