Astrofest 2012: "The Universe under one roof." We saw aurorae and learned about solar storms, dark matter and the beginning of the Universe. There were telescopes galore and an unusual demonstration of spectroscopy.

Here are some interviews with people at AstroFest, including author Ian Ridpath who organizes the speaker program, Paal Brekke of the Norwegian Space Agency who spoke about aurorae, Professor Don Kurtz on the Kepler Observatory looking for extrasolar planets, Hanny van Arkel on citizen science and Noah Petro of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center who spoke on lunar geology and the Apollo landing sites.

I had no idea that Brian May was an astrophysicist. That may be stretching it a bit.

Point taken, Jim. Brian May doesn't make a living as an astrophysicist. On the other hand he does have a PhD in astrophysics awarded by Imperial College several years ago, so that kind of qualifies him.
