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.
