Spectacular Venus, the second brightest
object in the night sky, and the International Space Station manned by 3
astronauts herald the start of our Spring Evening Classes this
month.
In celebration of 2009, the United
Nations International Year of Astronomy, we are launching our 8
week course on January 28th.
These classes are aimed at the general public and will
delve into the exciting world of astronomy and tell you everything you ever
wished to know, without the need for maths skills.
Learn about the history of astronomy and the people who
pioneered it, the mysterious world of dark energy and dark matter, how the
planets formed, how exactly a telescope works, and much, much more.
The course fee also includes a one year membership to
Astronomy Ireland a subscription to Astronomy & Space, our magazine. Our
full colour monthly magazine will keep you up to date on all the latest
astronomical news, articles, pictures and even contains a sky diary which
will tell you what is visible in the Irish sky each month.
Learn everything you ever wanted to know about the Universe
but were afraid to ask!
We will hold Venus Watches around the country on January 30th so
