The Society hosted a special talk on 16 November 2004, entitled Restless Stars. The speaker was Dr Bonnie Steves from Glasgow Caledonian University and she gave an excellent presentation. If you were not there, you missed a real treat.

Restless Stars was the story and mathematics of how stars gravitationally interact with each other. Computer simulations were used to demonstrate how the forces of attraction between different stars interact.

Bonnie presented what is a very complex subject in a simple and entertaining way that all those present managed to follow.

We wish her and her team well in the future work they do and hope one day she can come back and give us an update on the latest research.

Chairman Mansour Gemie with Dr Bonnie Steves.
