TV3 have invited me on to Ireland AM to talk about the International Space Station blazing across the sky every night until October 8th, and also to talk about the Carlow (Oct. 8), Dublin (Oct. 13) and Waterford (Oct. 15) Astronomy Ireland Branch lectures (details of which will soon be posted on www.astronomy.ie click on "club events" in the sidebar menu on the left of the screen). Did you see I.S.S. last night at 7:57pm? It was extremely bright from Dublin, perhaps magnitude -3 and so far outshining Mars and Vega. Tonight it flies over at 8:33pm. Drop an email to observe@astronomy.ie if you see it. (Those in South Dublin will see I.S.S. pass in front of the lovely double star Albireo - what a sight that could be in a telescope if ISS passed between both components!). Remember, you can see I.S.S. every night until October 8th, but at a different time each night so call our Newsline on 1550-111-442 every day after 12 noon for the time to watch that evening (calls cost 74c/min). Those in the U.K. can call 09001-88-1950 (calls cost 60p/min). Please forward this message on to everyone in your address book and let's get the whole country out watching space this week! If you're not up at 7:15am normally, set your video and watch the show later! ===== David Moore BSc FRAS, Chairman, Astronomy Ireland, P.O.Box 2888, Dublin 5. Editor, "Astronomy & Space" magazine.
