David Moore on The Afternoon Show Astronomy Ireland Chairman, David Moore, featured again on RTE Television's flagship afternoon programme The Afternoon Show on Tuesday, September 29 to talk about Jupiter and the Full Moon visible that night. To watch this and another clip of David on The Afternoon Show go to www.astronomy.ie/video. If you would like to see more astronomy related material on television, we are asking you to email the show at emails@theafternoonshow.ie and tell them you support RTE promoting astronomy. As discussed on The Afternoon Show, on September 29 Jupiter and the Full Moon provided us with a stunning sight in the night sky. Jupiter, which appears as a brilliant 'star' in the night sky, was placed just below the Full Moon. This sight was visible just after sunset and remained visible all night until dawn. While it was cloudy in many areas, Denis Walsh managed to get a spectacular picture of the 2 bodies which you can see HERE. 3. Events a..
