For those of you who have ever wondered ‘What’s out there?,’ all of your questions and more can be revealed at our second ‘Astronomy for Beginners’ lecture series at Birr Castle Demesne. Led by Tony O’Hanlon, this programme is for the absolute beginner stargazer, and is suitable for adults of all ages as well as teenagers. Classes will be held Thursday evenings, beginning 19 February, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., with tea breaks at 8 p.m. The lecture series will run for eight weeks, where Tony will uncover the mysteries of the planets, stars and everything else in the Universe! This will also include basic night sky observing sessions on the castle grounds, if weather permits. The cost of the eight week course, including weekly handouts, is 100 euro. Owning a telescope is not required for the course, but if you have one, you are encouraged to bring it.
