Speaker: Ed Bothamley

Ed Bothamley has been a member of MSAS for about a year.  He has reignited an interest in astronomy that began one teenage night in the 80s when he wondered why ‘The Plough’ had moved.  He went on to study astrophysics at Manchester University but transferred to mechanical engineering when he realised he didn’t understand Einstein.  After graduating he worked for a local sweet manufacturer and then as a Science Teacher but now works as a sales engineer.
