HOYLE PROJECT EVENTS
Into Deepest Space
Saturday 14 March 2009, 10am-4pm
As part of the Cambridge Science Festival 2009 you are invited to set out on a voyage Into Deepest Space with the help of St John's College Library and the Hoyle Collection. The Old Library will play host to an exhibition of Hoyle's science fiction manuscripts and books, including a number of unpublished works. In more modern surroundings, visitors can each contribute a page to an illustrated Hoyle novel, to be displayed in the library and on the Hoyle Project webpage.
Booking is essential for the hands-on activity. Three sessions will be run throughout the day, and full details, including how to book, will be given on the Cambridge Science Festival website in due course. The Old Library exhibition will be open form 10am-4pm, with no need to book. However, for reasons of safety and security, numbers allowed in the Old Library are limited, and there may be queues at the busiest times.

Exhibits will include medieval and early modern astronomical manuscripts and printed books; instruments from the College Observatory, once sited at the top of the Shrewsbury Tower in Second Court; and the papers of eminent Johnian astronomers including Sir John Herschel, John Couch Adams, and Sir Fred Hoyle.
The Way to the Stars will be officially opened with the second Hoyle Day, to be held during October 2009. During the day further material from the Hoyle Collection will be displayed in the Upper Library, and there will be the opportunity to hear talks about the history of astronomy.
