[Astronomy Ireland] Saturn Watch, Astronomy Summer School
Aurora Trip Membership DVD Shop 1. Saturn Watch - Ringed Planet at its Best! In advance of our Astronomy Summer School commencing tomorrow evening, we are holding a Saturn Watch tonight (Tuesday, July 17th) at the Astronomy Ireland Shop in Airside Enterprise Centre, where members of the public are invited to come along and see the Jewel of the Solar System through some of Ireland's most powerful telescopes! Using these powerful telescopes you will be able to see the moons of Saturn and its famous ring system for your own eyes! The Saturn Watch will begin at 9pm. More details and photos of Saturn can be found HERE. 2. Astronomy Summer School Our brand new Astronomy Summer School begins tomorrow in Trinity College Dublin, and was developed by Astronomy Ireland to give newcomers to astronomy a good grounding in observational astronomy and how to find one's way around the night sky. Students will learn about the constellations, the Moon and the Sun, the history of astronomy, how telescopes work, and what to see in the night sky. An Introduction to Astronomy is ideal for those who want to get more out of their stargazing sessions, how telescopes can be used, and where to find celestial objects in the sky, without being going into the more complex details of astrophysics and cosmology. The Astronomy Ireland Summer School will commence tomorrow, Wednesday, July 18th, and run each Wednesday for four weeks. The enrolment fee is only €140 for non-members and €100 for members, and group rates can be arranged.
