To be repeated in February, as the Jan.22nd one was clouded out – watch this space! at Astronomy Ireland HQ (Map and Directions)
This event will go ahead regardless of weather so do come along to look at the telescopes especially if your thinking of giving one as a gift, and bring yours if you want to know how to use it.
This year our targets will be the planet Mars, a great night sky object. Join us for a night of fun!!
“The Moon is full of details to see like craters, mountains, vast lava lakes and more. It is by the far the most spectacular object to see in a telescope. It is great be joining forces with NASA focus on the Moon for one night a year, even if we cannot do it together!” said David Moore, editor of Astronomy Ireland magazine.
This event is free for all and suitable for young and old. Directions/MAP to event HERE
This event is suitable for all ages, and we encourage families, children and adults to come along.
