From The Science Museum:

Hello,

I'm writing you from the Science Museum, regarding a special event that might interest you: Cosmic Explorers Day. This event is supported by the Royal Astronomical Society (http://www.ras.org.uk/) as part of the International Year of Astronomy 2009 (http://www.astronomy2009.org/) celebrations and it will take place at the Science Museum on Saturday 12 December. In conjunction with the exhibition Cosmos & Culture, the Cosmic event will include:

12.15-13.00 - Curator tour of Cosmos & Culture exhibition
13.00-13.30 - Einstein drama character show in Cosmos & Culture exhibition
14.15-15.00 - 'Gravitational waves: new windows on Einstein's universe' lecture by Professor Martin Hendry,

You can find more information about the event on the Science Museum website (http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/visitmuseum/events/events_for_adults/cosmic_explorers_day.aspx) and on our Facebook event page (http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=royal+astronomic+society&init=quick#/event.php?eid=198517527266&ref=mf).

It would be great if you could help us in spreading the word about the event. Feel free to post the event on the Orpington Astronomical Society website and forum.
