Aerobility Launches Armchair Aurora
/
Building on the success of Armchair Airshow, Aerobility, the UK’s leading disabled flying charity, along with Impressionist Jon Culshaw and Astronomer Pete Lawrence, is lining up a host of astronomers, scientists, aviators and artists for an hour long, live-streamed Armchair Aurora event on Saturday, March 13th at 18:00.
The free to attend event will livestream via armchairaurora.com and will take viewers on a journey of wonder from their armchairs and into the skies.
Bringing together spectacular Aurora footage, interviews and Q&A with scientists, there will be insights on polar aviation and the workings of the Aurora, all beamed to living rooms around the UK and worldwide.
Expert speakers will include:
- Pete Lawrence, the British amateur astronomer best known for his popularisation of astronomy on the BBC's The Sky at Night with Sir Patrick Moore.
- Nigel Meredith: Space Weather Scientist, British Antarctic Survey (BAS)
- Rod Arnold: Head of Air Unit, BAS.
Viewers will be invited to submit questions to the experts during the event. To round off the evening, the event will conclude with a ‘Sounds of Space’ music extravaganza, delivering 30 minutes of tranquillity and beauty to viewers, with aurora footage accompanied by appropriately ambient music.
A limited number of sponsorship opportunities are still available. Please contact marcus@aerobility.com for more details or visit www.aerobility.com/armchairaurora
