Public Lecture to kick off Science Week In a major public lecture for National Science Week <http://www.astronomy.ie/scienceweek/> (Nov. 7-14), Dr Andy Shearer will explain everything you wanted to know about neutron stars but were afraid to ask! In his talk, entitled 'Pulsars: Cosmic Clocks and Little Green Men', Dr Shearer will give a captivating talk to the general public on these extremely bizarre objects, and how our understanding of them has developed in over 40 years. Only five spinning neutron stars have ever been seen in normal light, like cosmic lighthouses, and Dr Shearer's Irish team of astronomers based NUI Galway found two of them - a remarkable Irish success story at the cutting edge of world science! The lecture takes place next Monday night, November 8, at 8pm, in the Fitzgerald <http://www.tcd.ie/Maps/map.php> Building, Trinity College Dublin, for more information on this lecture click <http://www.astronomy.ie/lecture201010.php> HERE. After the lecture there will be a social reception in <http://www.thesmithgroup.ie/thelombard/index.html> The Lombard. All guests are welcome to attend and you will have the opportunity to chat with Dr Andy Shearer, other guests, and Astronomy Ireland staff and volunteers. A DVD <http://www.astronomy.ie/lectureDVD.php> is available to order online for anyone who cannot make the talk on the night.
