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
