Kerry Astronomy Show

Keeping with the theme of Stars Kerry Astronomy Club has lined up a wonderful night of Stargazing to take place at Gortbrack Farm.

Kerry Astronomy Club, which is now starting into its fourth year, will present a talk titled The Life & Death of Stars, followed by some fun observing of real stars -weather permitting of course!

At the heart of Kerry Astronomy Club is its 'observing sessions'. It holds these as often as the weather allows and uses them to study the night sky, looking at clusters, nebulae, the moon, the planets and any unusual visitors to the night skies like comets.

Holding observing sessions that tie in with major sky events such as meteor showers and comets, Kerry Astronomy Club, holds a number of public observing sessions allowing the public to look at the wonders of the night sky through the clubs telescopes.

Complimenting Kerry Astronomy Clubs observing sessions are its monthly talks during which attendees discuss what's to see in the coming month, what they saw in the previous month and hold a talk on a particular area of interest such as space probes or meteors. Highlights of the year at Kerry Astronomy Club include its summer day trip and a Christmas social.
