James Webb Space Telescope in Dublin.

It's currently on display at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham.

Hi, here are some photo's I took yesterday. This is for all who could not make it up to The Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin to see the James Webb Space Telescope Model.

My thanks to Paul Dawson,Trinity College (IAS) who was doing public outreach there yesterday, and to IMMA for access to the top floor to get an overview shot.

Congratulations to the Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies for bringing the JWST model to Dublin. Thanks to them also for hosting the very informative and entertaining lecture by Dr John Mather ( Senior Project Scientist for the JWST) in UCD on Thursday last.

Myself and John Murphy attended Dr Mather's lectue and enjoyed it.

Deirdre, will the telescope still be there at the weekend? And where exactly is it?

Bart.

Yes it will still be there on the weekend and perhaps for a while after that, you would have to check with the DIAS Telephone 01 6621333

WOW, it certainly looks very impressive and alot bigger then I thought it would.

Excellent, I'll be in Dublin some part of the weekend, so I hope to get to see it myself.
