A huge impact was seen by amateur astronomers yesterday and we have put up a special webpage giving details and the times that you can see it with your telescope on our website www.astronomy.ie

PERFECT TIMING FOR IRELAND

This event could not have come at a better time for Irish viewers as the biggest array of telescopes ever seen in Ireland was already being assembled for this weekend's Star-B-Q!

Star-B-Q is Ireland's BIGGEST 'STAR PARTY' which we organise every summer, for the past 20 years, where the biggest telescopes in Ireland are assembled at the highest village in Ireland to show the general public the wonders of the universe like almost no one in the world ever gets to see the m.

Star-B-Q is the biggest star party in Ireland every year and everyone is welcome to attend. We provide the telescopes, food and entertainment. You provide the oohs and aahs!

Jupiter was already going to be one of the wonders of the universe on show at this year's Star-B-Q but now it looks like it will be the main event and should make this the biggest Star-B-Q in history, so don't miss it!

Jupiter Impact details are on a new page on Astronomy Ireland's website www.astronomy.ie 

All are welcome to come along to Star-B-Q&nb sp;so please bring all your family and friends and circulate this notice to everyone you know!
