Summary

Following the stunning eclipse over North America, should we be putting sun cream on our eyes? (No). Are astronomical phenomena a portent of terrible things to come? (probably not). But why are we still caught in a thrall by eclipses, comets and stars? Dr Francis Young, historian of religion and belief, has been collecting history's strangest theories about what happens way above our heads.

And if you missed it...

Big weird announcement! We Can Be Weirdos is taking to the stage, for a live show! Along with a panel of stand-up comedians and academics, We Can Be Weirdos Live will be a night that combines comedy, PowerPoint, and cursed objects with freewheeling chat. It promises to be a night to ignite the suppressed bit of batsh*t in you. Come join the club, and unleash your inner weirdo.

***13th May at the Underbelly Boulevard***
