Hi all,
1. Just a year and a day after Neil Armstrong's visit, the SECOND man on the
moon will be making a similar visit, to the same venue! Thanks to our own
Ulsternaut (soon to be 'astronaut') Derek Heatly, for the following details:
On Thurs. Nov. 18 Gay Byrne will interview Buzz at 8pm in the National
Concert Hall. Tickets are 35,50,70 - Euro. Dinner with him afterwards is ¬35 Ero! Try
booking on www.nch.ie or ring 01-417-0000 (003531 417 0000 from N.I.) The Armstrong
event was superb, a unique occasion; so I'm sure Buzz will be worth hearing
too.
2. Science Week at Maynooth.
Come to Maynooth and see the stars, learn more about IT etc. All these and
more are on the programme for Science Week at Maynooth from 7th to 14th
November. Everyone will get a welcome, and all the events are free.
Among the activities will be nightly viewing of the stars, which will
begin at 8 pm if viewing conditions are right there. Career minded visitors will
be able to hear what science graduates have to say about jobs in Irish
industry. Anyone who wants to get hands-on experience of science should come along on
Friday 12th for a series of demonstrations in biology, physics and computer
science. To get the latest on what's planned visit the website www.may.ie
3. Science photo competition.
From August to December, Irish Universities Promoting Science is running an
exciting web photo competition for students under the theme, "Science is Fun".
Primary and post-primary school students can submit their photos either
electronically from the website www.universityscience.ie or by post.
Each month, visitors to the website will be asked to vote for their
favourite photo, as all pictures will be uploaded onto the site. A grand final of
photos will be held in December, again picking the winners by popular vote. The
winners will be presented with their prizes at the Young Scientist Exhibition
in the RDS, Dublin in January
2005.
A good astro-photo could well have a good chance here!
Clear Skies,
Terry Moseley
