Tutor : Brian Kelly
Brian was formerly City Astronomer for Dundee at the Mills Observatory.
A graduate of Edinburgh University, he joined the public education team at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh in 1985 before moving to the Mills Observatory in Dundee in 1990. At the Mills, Brian introduced thousands of visitors to the night sky through public observing sessions and planetary shows, and provided regular astronomy features for the Courier and Radio Tay.
Brian continues to give regular talks and lectures on various aspects of astronomy and space science and likes to spend clear nights with a telescope, binoculars or just the eye alone, exploring the universe for himself.
