Weekly meeting audience in the Godlee Observatory
Due to redevelopment work on the North Campus, the Godlee Observatory is now closed for an indefinite period - our new temporary venue is the Blackett Lecture Theatre in the Schuster Building on the main campus.
The Schuster Building, looking towards Upper Brook Street. The main entrance can be seen to the left of the lamppost, and the top of the observatory dome is just visible on the top of the end of the building in the middle of the picture.
