1. Treat Your Dad This Father's
Day
Does your dad like to spend hours outside
looking into space? Does he like to read up on all things astronomy? Does he
avidly watch the weather forecast to find out when he can next bring out his
telescope?
If your dad is a fan of space and astronomy, why
not help him bring his knowledge "out of this world" in our Understanding
the Universe Astronomy Evening Classes, beginning next month!
Understanding the Universe will introduce the
space enthusiast to concepts in physics and technology to help you
understand what goes on inside stars to make them shine, how we can observe the
Universe using x-rays and radio waves, how robotics and space travel have opened
up new ways for us to study space, and how the Universe itself came into
being.
Of course, our new Astronomy Classes aren't just
for dads: we want everyone who wants to know more about the Universe to come
along!
The course will take place in Trinity College Dublin, and commences on July
17th. It will take place each Wednesday over eight weeks. The course fee is €180
which will include membership to Astronomy Ireland (€130 for people who are
already members).
