To experience the marvels of the Universe you should see them for yourself with your own eyes. As part of this free Open Night, the Armagh Planetarium will host a public telescope viewing session providing views of the Moon, planets and deep sky objects through our 12 inch telescope. The astronomical objects viewed will change with the seasons, and range from the Moon to the planets (such as Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus) to nebulae and galaxies and, if we are really lucky, passing comets. The observing session will be held at the Planetarium and there will also be a free presentation of our Beyond the Blue digital theatre show at 7.30pm. If you want to join in please be aware observing can be done only if the sky is clear. The Digital Theatre show will go ahead regardless of the weather.
PRE-BOOKING FOR THE 7.30PM SHOW BEYOND THE BLUE IS ESSENTIAL. PLEASE CALL 028 37 523689 TO BOOK.
