Just a few images from a busy week in Dublin and Wexford Town.




We made Deadly Moons in Wexford Town Library last Tuesday.
Eyes in the Skies DVD's and International Year of Astronomy Bookmarks
were given to all attending.



We learned lots about Rockets and Robots in Donaghmede Library last Wednesday
Plenty of Space Shuttles were created on the morning of the launch of Endeavour.



Herschel and Planck Posters and Eyes in the Skies DVD's given away at Rapid Rockets and Wicked Robots in Donaghmede Library.


At Finglas Library last Thursday we learned about the Earth and its atmosphere ,and how special it is for us. We also looked at The Moon , The Sun and Mars in 3D.
We talked about Apollo 11 and we learned how astronomers look at the moon and what they see in their telescopes. We explored how spacecraft look at the moon, the sun and the planets.




All attending were delighted with Spaceweather posters and Eyes in the Skies DVD's
