    Last Thursday I had the privilege of attending Will Gater’s lecture ” Not just pretty pictures - the science behind Hubble’s greatest images” His presentation skills, knowledge and enthusiasm combined with his obvious love of astonomy, added passion to an already exciting subject. The audience were of very mixed levels of astronomical knowledge, but his ability to get through to all was impressive.
