There are only 2 days to
go to Ireland's Biggest Annual
Astronomy Festival - Star-B-Q
The United Nations has declared 2009 as the
International Year of Astronomy (IYA) to celebrate the 400th anniversary of
Galileo turning the first telescope on the night sky. What better way to
celebrate than coming and seeing how far telescope technology has come in
400 years?
The travelling IYA poster display "From Earth to
the Universe" will be at Star-B-Q and features some of the most stunning images
from around the universe!
The views are amazing, and of course there is the
barbecue and the full festival programme also, so
bring all your family and friends for a great night out to support
your national astronomy organisation.
Star-B-Q is the biggest event in Ireland's
astronomy calendar and there has been a flurry of media interest with
coverage in The Irish Times, Metro, 98FM, Live Drive (DCFM), and more.
For
example:
Record numbers have booked for Star-B-Q in this
International Year of Astronomy, so it is sure to be the most memorable ever and
one not to be missed.
So, for a different night out, why not
bring all your friends and family and celebrate the International Year of Astronomy with Astronomy Ireland this
Saturday.
