1. Hubble Lecture DVD available nationwide LECTURE REPORT: "Brilliant!". "Absolutely marvellous." This is how the Hubble Space Telescope Lecture on March 31 was described by those who attended. One member was even inspired to write some lyrics for a song, which he showed us afterwards! Here's what happened: Lars Lindberg Christiansen, Head of Communications for Hubble at ESA in Munich, described the development of the telescope, its service missions by shuttle astronauts and the awesome images of nebulae like the Orion Nebula, Eta Carina Nebula and galaxies galore, including the latest image which shows a supernova found by an Irish team, planets, dying stars, black holes and more, all taken by the telescope in its 18 years. At the end of the presentation he showed images that wont be released for several weeks to mark the 18th birthday of Hubble - this was a world premier he said. Everyone who came to the lecture got a free DVD of the first 15 years of Hubble. Order your copy of this lecture and we'll post you that 15th anniversary Hubble DVD as well for usual price i.e. two DVDs for the price of one This is an amazing lecture which we highly recommend you watch. The Lecture was run in association with The Irish Times, to whom we are most grateful as the lecture theatre was packed to capacity by 300 people - one of our biggest ever crowds.
