Bannau Brecheiniog Dark Sky Festival presentation - The Science of Dr Who (and Stargazing)
Saturday 23rd September 2023 from 19:00pm to 20:00pm
Brecon - Libanus Mountain Centre
Libanus, Brecon, Powys, LD3 8ER, Wales
Doctor Who is a science-fiction institution, known and loved worldwide (and maybe beyond). It shows fantastic ideas, time-travel, two-hearted aliens, bizarre worlds, and boxes bigger on the inside. All good science-fiction fun…but is any of it possible? It turns out a fair amount is at least plausible! Come and join Phill Wallace FRAS, CAS Chairman, as he delves into the time vortex and tries to make sense of the impossible.
Followed by stargazing with telescopes & binoculars with Cardiff & Usk Astronomical societies at 8pm-9pm.

Mae Doctor Who yn sefydliad ffug-wyddonol sydd yn wybyddus ledled y byd (a thu hwnt.) Mae’n dangos syniadau gwych, teithio trwy amser, estroniaid sydd â dwy galon, bydoedd anhygoel a bocsys mawr. Hwyl ffug-wyddonol. . . ond oes unrhyw beth yn bosibl? Mae llawer ohono’n gredadwy! Dewch i ymuno â Phill Wallace FRAS, Cadeirydd CAS wrth iddo dwrio mewn amser a cheisio gwneud synnwyr o’r hyn sydd ar y wyneb yn amhosib.
Cyn y sgwrs gallwch gymryd rhan mewn syllu ar y sêr gyda thelesgopau ac ysbienddrych gyda Chymdeithasau Seryddol Caerdydd a Brynbuga am 8pm-9pm.
