[BAA Comets] Comet meetings in London this summer

[Nick James]

Rosetta's encounter with 67P is leading to a revolution in our 
understanding of comets. Members may be interested in a couple of 
meetings coming up in London this summer which plan to discuss the 
results so far and the future direction of cometary science. Each 
meeting lasts two days and the will run back-to-back over the four days 
June 14-17.

The first meeting will be at the Royal Society on Tuesday/Wednesday, 
June 14/15. This will comprise a series of major review talks from 
members of the Rosetta science teams and other experts in the field 
describing the results of Rosetta and the current status of cometary 
science. It is free to attend, but registration is essential. There is a 
poster session planned for this meeting. Details are here:

The poster abstract deadline is April 29.

The second meeting will be at Birkbeck, University of London, in 
Bloomsbury on June 16/17. Registration for this event is £30 for one day 
or £50 for both days. The organisers welcome submissions for talks or 
posters from dedicated amateurs for this event. More details are here:
