ECLIPSE TRIP - BIGGEST
EVER!
Over 100 people have booked for our holiday of a lifetime
to see the Total Eclipse of the Sun on March 29 from our 4 star hotel in
Turkey.
The March issue of our magazine will feature what to see and do as the
cover story. Public Lectures coming soon.
This is now the BIGGEST event Astronomy Ireland has EVER organised and
rightly so as this is the astronomical event of the decade and won't be bested
until 2017!
