Understanding the Universe is a brand new set of astronomy classes that will help stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts understand how the Universe works.

The Summer School began last night in Dublin, but you can still sign up! Just go to www.astronomy.ie/summerschool and sign up as normal, or call us on (01) 890 11 11. Because you will have missed the first class, you will automatically get a 15% discount.

Understanding the Universe will introduce you 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.

The new course will take place in Trinity College Dublin, and the next class takes place on July 24th. With the discount, the course fee is only €153 which will include membership to Astronomy Ireland (€110 for people who are already members).
