MIKE FROST - ASTRONOMY TALKS

---

Hi! My name is Mike Frost. I live in Warwickshire, England. For my day job, I am a systems engineer working in the steel industry .

In my spare time, I am an astronomer. I chase eclipses and I visit astronomical sites worldwide. The picture below is of me standing in the Tswaing Meteor Crater, which is 40km north of Pretoria, South Africa.

I am a member of Coventry and Warwickshire Astronomy Society ,  The Society for the History of Astronomy ,

The British Astronomical Association and the Astronomy Centre, Todmorden.

I also write articles and give talks to societies around the UK (and beyond!).

These are the talks which I give:-
