SPOTLIGHT

By Brooke Manning

Written in the stars - telescope named after female scientist

T

he first new telescope to be installed in the Royal Observatory Greenwich in over 60 years has been named after one of the first female scientists to work there: Annie Maunder.

The addition of the Annie Maunder Astrographic Telescope (AMAT) means that the Royal Observatory Greenwich is no longer only a historic site, but also a working observatory once again.

The AMAT is specifically designed for astronomical photography, and it will be able to take both still and moving images of the stars, other planets, as well as take chemical analyses of nebulae.

The Royal Observatory Greenwich (ROG) intends to make this information as accessible as possible, by streaming images online and sharing the content with schools and the public. In the future, other institutions and university researchers should be able to use information collected by the telescope.

In 1675, Charles II founded the Royal Observatory in Greenwich and it was a functioning observatory until 1957, when the equipment was moved to Herstmonceux in Sussex due to London's smog and bright lights interfering with the visibility of stars.

Today, London's air quality has improved and the capabilities of telescopes are also able to filter out light and pollution, making it possible for the Royal Observatory to work again.

The Royal Observatory was used to improve sea navigation by mapping the fixed location of stars. Because of this, Greenwich became the standard for 0o longitude on most sea charts, and was chosen as the centre for the world’s time: Greenwich Mean Time.

Annie Maunder was one of the first women who worked at the Royal Observatory. She first joined in 1891, working in one of the few paid jobs for women in the field of astronomy. Yet although she was a skilled mathematician and student at Cambridge, Annie was forced to resign in 1895 when she married her husband Walter Maunder, who worked alongside her in the solar department.

Despite this, she continued to contribute to the field with Walter, and travelled to see solar eclipses around the world. Most notably, the couple's joint work in mapping sunspots lay the groundwork for the modern understanding of the sun and its cycles.

Although her husband Walter did acknowledge her contributions,

4 July 4 2018

Astronomer Brendan Owens prepares the new 'Annie Maunder Astrographic Telescope' at the Royal Observatory Greenwich

restrictions at the time meant that Annie never got proper accreditation for much of her work. Annie was also an astrophotographer, and she even designed her own camera in 1898, which was able to capture

the longest coronal streamer - a bright loop-like structure that can be seen during a solar eclipse - to be captured at the time.

It is fitting then that the AMAT will be able to take close up images of the Sun's surface, since

this is work that Annie Maunder herself was doing.

The Royal Museums Greenwich's fundraising efforts of over ÂŁ150,000 made the restoration of the Altazimuth Pavilion and the purchase of the AMAT possible.

The Altazimuth Pavilion and the AMAT are open 10am-5pm daily, and admission is free. The Royal Observatory will also offer tours.

CINEMA

By Laura Burgoine

Mellow Yellow

T

he Greenwich Picturehouse is going psychedelic with a screening of animated Beatles movie Yellow Submarine.

The musical spectacle is a joyful cinematic experience for all ages, filled with visual invention, optical illusions, word play, and glorious music. On Sunday 8 July the groundbreaking animation returns to the big screen.

When the Blue Meanies invade the paradise of Pepperland, 80,000 leagues under the sea, the Beatles come to the rescue.

Teaming up with Young Fred and the Nowhere Man, our heroes journey across seven seas to free Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, make peace with the Meanies, and restore music, colour, and love to the world.

Yellow Submarine is a landmark in animation, with Heinz Edelmann’s inspired art direction conjuring up a non-stop parade

of wildly different styles and techniques. From the paper-doll residents of Pepperland, to the tinted photography of the soot covered roofs and smokestacks Liverpool, the menagerie of fanciful characters in the Sea of Monsters, the kaleidoscopic colour-splashed rotoscoping of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the vertigo inducing op-art of the Sea of Holes, and the triumphant euphony of the It’s All Too Much finale, the film is simply a joy.

Everyone attending screenings will also receive an exclusive 50th anniversary commemorative pack, including four stunning limited edition collector's cards and a Peppertastic sticker set.

BOOKS

The Sheer Nerve of it

R

ob Lofthouse joined his local county infantry regiment (1 PWRR) straight from school at the age of sixteen.

After serving 20 years in Poland, Germany, Kenya, Canada, Falkland Islands, Iraq, Northern Ireland and Kosovo, he retired in the rank of Sergeant. The Sheer Nerve is Rob’s first book with Endeavour, and centres around a fictional British mission to commandeer a German U-boat during WW2. Rob spoke to us about the inspiration behind this ambitious tale.

As a kid and young adult, I read my fair share of commando comics and stories from World War 2, all of which were ideal fodder to recruit young Robert into the Army, in particular, the Infantry. The truth is, it was a couple of years ago, when the seed for the story was gently pushed into my ear. I happened to come across a documentary on You Tube, ‘The Greatest Raid of All’, hosted by Jeremy Clarkson. ‘Operation Chariot’ was the daring Commando raid upon the Normandie dry dock in St Nazaire harbour in 1942. The mission… to deny the German battleship Tirpitz a dry dock facility on the French coast. It was Clarkson’s enthusiastic delivery of

laura@weekender.co.uk /

such an amazing story that served me the baseline for The Sheer Nerve.

I write fiction, historical fiction in fact.

I cannot wander into the realms of the absurd when it comes to writing my stories, so I must ensure they maintain an element of credibility.

In The Sheer Nerve I deliberately gave myself a problem. I have a company of British Commandos, based in Gibraltar, who have been tasked with raiding La Rochelle U-Boat facility. For the story to be credible, I delved into my professional experience. I served for twenty years in an Infantry unit, retiring in the rank of Sergeant. At my rank level, I was privy to, and at times contributed to the planning process that British troops use to prepare for battle. With that knowledge, I sewed it into a story that would include such planning. For Captain Paul Hook to lead his Commandos into the teeth of formidable German defences, which protect high-risk assets such as U-Boats, I needed to throw the reader into the finer detail of the mission plan. By the time the first shots are fired, I want the reader to feel like one of the very men about to fight their way off the captured U-Boat, causing mayhem throughout the facility until told otherwise.

www.weekender.co.uk

My research regarding German Submarines and Enigma machines took time. I exploited open source material available online and taught myself how to use an Enigma machine. I wrote to U-Boat enthusiasts all over Europe asking them if such a force could squeeze into the confines of a German submarine. They all said yes, but there would be a trade-off. The performance of the submarine would be affected greatly, such as with diving and manoeuvring, and many of the crews’ war fighting duties, less department heads, would have to be taken up by Commandos. The U-Boat commanded by a British Sub Captain would quite literally be nothing more than a means to deliver the commandos onto their target. A trojan horse, if you will. To be detected and attacked by the Royal Navy or indeed the Royal Air Force would certainly mean a grim watery death for men used to fighting on land.

The story is very much fiction, but I sure hope it highlights the type of men we had in our ranks back then at a time when to do nothing would only serve those who wished to harm us. The missions were dangerous, mocked even at political level, but the men who carried out such missions

were ordinary lads who were willing to do some good in the face of overwhelming odds.

Commandos are trained to cause trouble, it is what they are good at. They are not reckless, glory seeking macho types, for they are intelligent, meticulous people who ensure that they will maximise their effect against an enemy force.

They know that some of them will fall, but their ranks only swelled even more when the British people came to hear about such missions against the Nazi war machine, and that such men existed.

If I was only half the soldier…

FOOD & drink

By Michael Holland

Nice one, Syd

With a beer garden, a conservatory and a designated dining area inside, we had a lot of choice of where to sit, and after finding somewhere in the shade we perused the menu. It was the expected pub grub fare, with a couple of specials on offer, which was fine for our needs that hot Monday afternoon.

I had a Coast to Coast Pale Ale and Mum had a Fosters, two beers that were perfect for

urn off that nightmare for commuters, the Sidcup By-Pass, and within minutes you are in Old Perry Street and transported back to a suburbia of a hundred years ago with some of the cottages originating further back to the 18th century, and the Sydney Arms: a big old pub that has been serving the community for many years.

Sydney Arm s

pub. Nice one, Syd. That’s one thing I learnt. I also learnt that football was more important than dessert and Mum wanted to get home.

The Sydney Arms has got a lot going for it, and Mum is already looking forward to a return visit.

After the World Cup.

the damage the heat of the midday sun. We had got in at just the right time because a steady stream of customers began to arrive and fill the place up. I wanted to catch up with Mum to talk about England’s historic win and Harry Kane’s historic hat-trick, but she was more concerned with getting back home to watch the next kick-off; she hasn’t missed one World Cup match yet, so was a little put out that there will now be same-time kick-offs instead of them being staggered, as in the

early stages. But we had plenty of time to relax and enjoy our surroundings.

The kitchen was busy as lunches were being delivered to tables - inside and out - in rapid succession, and eventually our turn came. Mum’s on some kind of health kick and ordered a Caesar Salad (she probably has her eye on one of the England squad and wants to be in with a chance in case he turns up at the bingo one Saturday afternoon…).

She said it was very, very tasty,

which I reckon is high praise for a salad. I kicked my last health kick into touch some time ago and ordered the ham, egg and chips: a lunchtime staple that I believe should be available everywhere.

It did exactly what it is meant to do and, more importantly, the chips were good.

I read up on some of the pub’s history in the menu while we left a bit of time before dessert, and found that Sydney was a wealthy local who gave his name to Sydney in Australia, as well as the
