Our meeting on 15th September sees Paul Fellows visiting the society with a presentation entitled ‘Seeking The Sun’s Sisters’.

Paul has always had a keen interest in astronomy and leads public events at the University of Cambridge. He studied there as an undergraduate and specialized in Spectroscopy and later as a post graduate he worked on the development of home computers and the operating systems we know today.
He pioneered Video streaming over the internet and twice won the Queen’s Award for Technology.

In 2005 he was elected Fellow of the Institute of Engineering and this year was awarded a BEM for services to the public understanding of science and technology. He is the Chairman of the Cambridge Astronomical Association.

Since 2016 he has been an astronomy lecturer on the Queen Mary 2, other cruise ships and many societies and clubs such as ours!
