In 2010 NUI Galway’s Centre of Astronomy will continue its programme of open evenings at its Imbusch Astronomical Observatory.
The Observatory provides state-of-the-art observing facilities for NUI Galway’s Astrophysics students and the Open evenings are an opportunity for the general public to come in and visit.
At 7pm on 20 January and 17 February, weather permitting, an informative hour-long lecture will be followed by a hands-on viewing of the sky by night.
Numbers are limited to two per person and admission is strictly by ticket only, allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Bookings are by email and those interested should send requests to tara[dot]shanahan[at]nuigalway[dot]ie.
