Bonus - Astronomy and Empire at the Royal Observatory

from Pax Britannica: A History of the British Empire · host Samuel Hume

I was kindly invited to interview the curators of Royal Observatory Greenwich to celebrate the 350th Anniversary of the first Astronomer Royal, John Flamsteed, moving in. I got to explore the whole museum, and then sat down for a chat with two curators: Senior Curator Dr Louise Devoy, and Daisy Chamberlain, Curator of First Light. The Royal Observatory is open to the public, and well worth a visit! https://www.rmg.co.uk/royal-observatory Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
