Major Public Talk & Book Signing Tomorrow, November 14, in the prestigious Science Gallery in Dublin, Irish science author, Kevin Nolan will be launching his new book 'Mars: A Cosmic Stepping Stone' at Astronomy Ireland's annual Space exhibition - Astro Expo. In the book, Mars is seen as a critically important aspect of exploration because it is a stepping stone to the universe around us. Nolan investigates whether or not actual evidence of life is on Mars, its similarities to Earth, ancient waterways and oceans that once covered the planet, and the challenges and opportunities presented for manned missions to the Red Planet. Nolan's book is the first ever Irish written book of its kind and is sure to be a huge hit both in Ireland and abroad. Nolan will be the headline speaker at Astronomy Ireland's annual exhibition tomorrow and his talk is due to commence at 2.30pm with a chance for guests to have a chat with him before and afterwards at the exhibition. "There is one man in Ireland who knows everything there is to know about Mars. Kevin Nolan, the leading Irish science author, will reveal all about the Red Planet at our Astro Expo on Saturday." said David Moore, Chairman of Astronomy Ireland. "Did it ever have water? Could humans ever travel there? Does life exist on it? All these questions and much more will be answered at his amazing talk!" he said. Kevin's talk takes place tomorrow, November 14, at 2:30pm in The Science Gallery as part of our annual exhibition, Astro-Expo. For more information and to book your places click HERE.
