Star-B-Q DVDs Guests at Astronomy Ireland's Star-B-Q on September 4th were treated to an amazing talk called "Did We Really Land On The Moon?" where our international keynote speaker, Dr Martin Hendry, investigated the claim that the Moon landings were hoaxed and that Neil Armstrong never made that "one small step". This excellent talk captured the attention of about 500 people in the audience, and drew a lot of inquisitive questions about the space race. "The Secrets of the Stones" was delivered by Anthony Murphy of Mythical Ireland, where he showed the audience how ancient Irish people were extremely knowledgeable astronomers, and how they built monuments all over the country as a homage to the Sun and Moon. "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe" by David Moore, Chairman of Astronomy Ireland, brought the audience on a tour of the cosmos, from our own home planet, to the deepest depths of space containing exotic stars and vast galaxies. Astronomy Ireland is delighted to make these talks available on DVD to everyone in Ireland. If you didn't make it to the Star-B-Q, or want to get a souvenir of the event, be sure to order your DVDs now! Order DVDs 2.
