Dr. Allan Chapman

" Lord Rosse: The Beginning of Deep Space Astronomy in 19th Century Ireland" By Dr. Allan Chapman, Modern History Faculty, Wadham College, Oxford and star of Channel 4 Series "Gods in the Sky" http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/G/gods_in_sky/ Dr Alan Chapman is a brilliant public speaker. He regards giving a public lecture as a piece of theatre and his performances merit an award! On top of a unique and brilliant lecturing style he has a vast knowledge of the history of astronomy. His chosen topic of Lord Rosse is dear to our hearts and we cannot think of anyone better qualified in the world to describe the world record holding telescope of County Offaly in the late 19th century. Even if you had no interest in the most important era of Irish astronomy you would give his performance on the night a standing ovation. This is our Christmas Lecture and is not to be missed.
