Cork, Mon 14th March. Seanie Morris on New Horizons

Cork Astronomy Club welcomes Seanie Morris who will give his talk titled : “New Horizons: Stepping on Pluto's Threshold into Interplanetary Stardom".
Until last July Pluto was a blurry smudge through even the biggest telescopes. Now thanks to the New Horizons mission which launched 10 years ago, we have high-definition photography. A magnificent achievement of the human spirit. Seanie is Secretary of Midlands Astronomy Club
8pm, in UCC’s Civil Engineering Building, room 110 (this is near UCC’s College Road entrance). Please arrive 10 minutes early. If you want to join, at 7:40 please.
This is Cork Astronomy Club ’s monthly meeting, free admission. It closes at 9:40 pm but you are welcome to stay for tea afterwards, and to join our Club (€30 annual subscription, concession €20).

It was both a pleasure and an honour to present this talk to Cork Astronomy Club. Such a good attendance on the night and an enthusiastic one too.

With the latest high resolution images being complemented every month with new data as it is downloaded, Pluto really is a wondrous dwarf planet, and New Horizons has done it justice. If anyone else is interested in having me present this talk, get in touch!

Seanie.
