About

Join the Director of the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium, Professor Michael Burton, for a live planetarium show where he discusses the latest in astronomy.

We will look at interesting objects in the night sky for that month, examine the latest news in astronomy, and focus on a different type of celestial object each month. Each show will also feature a Q&A, so bring along your questions to ask the Director.
