Formed in 1937, the IAS is the longest established astronomy society in Ireland.

Join the Irish Astronomical Society for some telescopic delights and the science behind the technology & what you’re looking at.
For over 85 years the Irish Astronomical Society has been promoting an interest in the wonders of the night sky and the science of astronomy. We are delighted to welcome you to this sponsored event so you grab a hot chocolate, wander up and experience what our universe has to offer. Talks and an experiment tent will accompany the star-gazing with free and easy parking on site.
Sponsored by Research Ireland, this event is being graciously facilitated by the IAS and the OPW in partnership with C’mere.
All attendees do so at their own risk and should be aware that this is a night-time event in a park. We will provide volunteers with torches to aid participants however all attendees do so at their own risk.
