20 Months Membership Offer 2010 Events DVDs Shop I want you to get excited about this year's Christmas Lecture, whether you come see it live or order the DVD. We've pulled out all the stops for our 20th anniversary and booked the top astronomer who represents all the astronomers of the world, astronomy's answer to "The Pope" if you will! Dr Ian Corbett is the head of the International Astronomical Union, the body for all the world's astronomers, and he is coming to Ireland to speak to you, as a member of the general public, about how important astronomy is to our everyday lives. He will talk about how all the latest discoveries about our Universe make such an impact on our daily lives. How history has shown that explaining the Universe has created our modern society. He'll show the latest stunning images from around the cosmos and explain the current state of our knowledge, in what will be the most remarkable lecture we have ever organised. When someone of this calibre comes to Ireland shouldn't you make the effort to hear what they have to say? Book tickets HERE. If you can't make it order it on DVD HERE. Will you ask your friends and family to come to this extremely important lecture, too? -- David Moore BSc FRAS Chairman Astronomy Ireland - The World's Most Popular Astronomy Club www.astronomy.ie P.S.: We will hold our Christmas party immediately after the event in The Lombard Inn with free food.
