1. If the weather co-operates the Vincent Browne show on RTE Radio 1 tonight (Monday Feb. 24) will be all about astronomy with members of Astronomy Ireland outdoors with Vincent and a telescope talking about the universe. The show runs from 10pm until 11pm. If you miss it you can hear a recording (or listen live) on: http://www.radio1.ie/evening/vincentbrowne/ If the weather does not co-operate the show may be postponed. We'll let you know. 2. Another fireball possibly brighter than the Full Moon burst into Irish skies last night (Sunday Feb 23). If brighter than a Full Moon there is a possibility of a meteorite fall. We are still collecting reports of the Feb 12 fireball, reports of which jammed all of our phone lines for 3 days solid! A press notice is about to be issued as our preliminary investigation suggests county Galway, but the surrounding counties and ocean are also possible. Some of the eyewitnesses are being interviewed in more detail to improve the predicted fall zone (if indeed there was a meteorite droppes). If you know anyone who saw it have them go to astronomy.ie and fill out the fireball report form immediately. If you know of any video camera (no matter how small) pointing outdoors please get the owner to check their tape for 7:10am Feb. 12 now, before tapes are re-used! ===== David Moore BSc FRAS, Chairman, Astronomy Ireland, P.O.Box 2888, Dublin 5.
