Monthly event
Join us for our monthly astronomy Club at OM, open to all abilities and interests.
This is a sociable evening session with our resident astronomer discussing what is currently visible in the night sky.
August Astronomy Club
August’s AstronOMy Club will be celebrating Bogs and how important they are for both dark skies and neolithic monuments. We’ll be discussing how bog protected the many stone monuments found in the Sperrin Mountains, as well as the benefits they have shared with the Dark Sky Movement.
September Astronomy Club
As longer nights return, September’s AstronOMy Club is all about Irish Constellations. We’ll help you to identify the major ones and explain which ones to look out for at different times of the year as seasonal markers. We’ll also chat about the folklore and mythology behind some of the major ones. If skies are clear we’ll be able to get you started with some stargazing, in the dusk twilight.
Observing is weather dependent and naked eye only.
