Countrywide Saturn Watches

Astronomy Ireland is holding Nationwide Saturn Watches (venues around Ireland are listed below) on Friday March 4 at 8pm.  Saturn of course is the Planet very much in the news at the moment with the success of the Cassini Huygens Mission and the fantastics images that have been beamed back to earth.  March 4 will be the ideal night to go out and view the Ringed Planet in all its glory.
