🌒 As people look skywards for today’s solar eclipse, we’re looking back to another eclipse and to a former Queen’s student who wanted to make sure no one panicked when the sky went dark.
Astronomer Edmond Halley predicted with extraordinary accuracy the path of a total solar eclipse across southern England in 1715. At a time when eclipses could still be regarded as ominous portents, Halley published a chart explaining exactly what would happen, hoping that science would prevent “surprise to the People”.
Halley studied at Queen’s for two years from 1673, and his rare 'A Description of the Passage of the Shadow of the Moon' (1715) has recently joined the College Library’s collections thanks to the generosity of an Old Member.

Can politics take the long view?
📺 In an age of 24-hour news cycles and constant political pressure, is there still room for long-term thinking?
In the latest episode of ‘Provox’, Paul is joined by former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt for a wide-ranging conversation on economics, healthcare, leadership, and the changing nature of public debate.
Sir Jeremy draws on his experience at the highest levels of government, reflecting on balancing principle with pragmatism and making decisions that can affect millions of lives.

🎼 Vivaldi Gloria | Academy of Ancient Music & Choir of The Queen's College, Oxford
Listen to Vivaldi’s Gloria, recorded earlier this year in the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, Oxford. The Choir of The Queen’s College, Oxford and the Academy of Ancient Music directed by Owen Rees, are joined by soloists Zoë Brookshaw and Esther Lay.
Watch here: ow.ly/IZGK50ZyrLL
Further performances from the same concert will be released later this summer, with more recorded concerts planned for the coming academic year.
If this inspires you to become part of Oxford’s musical life, why not apply for a choral or organ scholarship at Queen's? Links to application forms can be found here: ow.ly/jqVt50ZyrLM
