Sir Norman Lockyer - a talk by Mike Frost
The story of an eminent Victorian astronomer - the co-discoverer of helium,
founder of the journal Nature, and pioneer of archaeo-astronomy.
A glimpse at the extraordinary world of Victorian eclipse chasers - shipwrecks,
sieges and escapes by hot-air balloon. And the story of Lockyer's own observatory in Sidmouth,
open to this day
Next talk Jeremiah Horrocks - A Very Curious Astronomer
