Wednesday 20th May 9PM at AI Headquarters Blanchardstown (location)

The biggest telescopes in Ireland will be there!

You will be able to see the Moon closer than the Artemis 2 astronauts did on their historic trip around the Moon using the powerful telescopes that Astronomy Ireland will set up.

In fact, we expect to be able to see 10 times more detail than the 4 astronauts could see, and you know how much the view they got impressed them – so bright the whole family, and friends, for a night of Moon watching they will never forget as we celebrate the highly successful Artemis 2 mission that heralds a new age of lunar exploration leading to a permanently manned Moon base by 2033

The event will begin at 9:00pm at our Headquarters in Blanchardstown (just off the M50) For map and directions visit:

The event is suitable for all ages, and we encourage families, children and adults to come along.
