      There are lots of astronomy resources out there. In Ireland you can visit us in Armagh Planetarium, Dunsink Observatory in Dublin, Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork, Inishowen Maritime Museum & Planetarium in Donegal and the astronomy centre at Birr Castle.

      There are some great astronomy clubs out there, trying using the internet to find the nearest one to you. They’re full of very friendly and helpful folks.

      To learn more there are super books in every bookshop and some great apps too.

      We live in a golden age of astronomy!
