URANUS
& MOON TELESCOPE SHOWS
Astronomy Ireland is going to hold a Moon and
Uranus Watch on Tuesday November 28th at 8pm in Dublin's Phoenix
Park at the Papal Cross car park and at other venues around Ireland
- please see our below for details and tell all your friends to
come along also. There will be powerful telescopes there to give a
close up view of the planet Uranus which very few people in the
world have ever seen. Uranus will be easy to see that night as it is
very close to the Moon as the diagram above (adapted from page 26 of
our November magazine shows - anybody with binoculars will be able to spot it
that night using the diagram.
