Your material and delivery combine to give a fascinating and enjoyable evening. Robert Wallbank, Programme Secretary, Aston & Erdington Photographic Society (Re: Beyond The Blue Horizon) Text Box: (Andrew) entertained all present, first of all, with an introduction to the early study of the planets from the 16h century to the early part of the last century. He then showed some stunning images , taken over the centuries with terrestrial based telescopes of all sizes and varieties, this was a feast in its own right. But after the interval the show became really breathtaking and almost beyond credibility when we were shown myriad images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. Words cannot describe the images which unfolded one after another, to the accompaniment of music and an informative and witty live commentary. We were shown how galaxies and the stars within them were born, lived and died, in fantastic detail and wonderful colour. It certainly made one think just how insignificant we are in the vastness of the universe. And yet, as was pointed out, we are perhaps not all that insignificant if we can, through our human intellect, delve into the mysteries of life and how it began the far distant past many billions of years ago...In all probability this presentation which combined photography and science provided the best form of spectacle, entertainment learning that the Deudraeth Club has ever been privileged enough to experience.
