Hi all,
TV:
1. Sat. 12th, 12.45pm, BBC2 TV: Sky at Night - Patrick Moore investigates
the Edgeworth-Kuiper Belt with Dr Alan Fitzsimons of QUB. (REPEAT)
2. Sun 13th, 9 - 10 p.m. BBC1 TV: "Supervolcano: A two-part near-future
drama-documentary charting the effects of one of nature's most cataclysmic events -
a supervolcanic eruption". Followed by
3. Sun 13th, 10 - 10.30p.m. BBC2 TV, "Supervolcano: The Truth about

4. Radio: Leo Enright presented a 30 minute show last Wed night on BBC Radio

missions beyond the earth and eventually to Jupiter and beyond. If you missed it,
you can listen to it online at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/projectprometheus.shtml
5. The ISS is now doing another nice series of evening passes. Download
predictions for your own location from www.heavens-above.com and see if you can
spot one of the early evening passes while you're looking for Mercury. If you
happen to be in the right location you can sometimes spot it passing very close
to the Moon or Saturn - again Heavens-Above should give you all the details.
6. A reminder about the Rocky Road Show: this annual event at the Ulster
Museum will be open on Saturday & Sunday afternoons (12th & 13th March), & is
always worth a visit if you're interested in the planet beneath our feet,
meteorites etc. Please note that there will be no vehicle or pedestrian access to the
front entrance of the Museum on Saturday morning. All visitors prior to public
opening times will have to enter via the Back Security entrance.
7. The next IAA Public Lecture will be on Wednesday 16 March, by Dr Niall
Smyth, of CIT: The title is "Blackrock Castle Robotic Observatory"; Lecture
Theatre 5, Stranmillis College, Belfast, 7.30 p.m. Free admission, including light
refreshments. All welcome.
8. Anyone going on, or interested in, the IFAS eclipse trip to Turkey should

Clear Skies,
