Tue, 5 September 2006 Well, loyal people who have kept up with us through the holidays, we have served up more then 500 helpings of Astronomy Club fun, which I think is quite amazing for show which only has a handful of episodes! Well, we are back, and with some more great content. Lets look through what is going on with episode 3 (and we will be monthly again until the end of the school year!) The topic for the evening is "Mr Messier and his Catalogue". The Messier catalogue is considered THE list of the "Best of" the sky's celestial sights beyond the Solar System. But how did the list come about, what were the first deep-sky objects to be discovered, and where can you find these showpieces of the heavens? Come along on the evening and find out. All welcome and no admission charge. "How may i come along?" I hear you ask...Well, contrary to popular belief, we are not situated in some deep hole under the stars, but in fact in Gonzaga Collage, Ranalagh, Dublin 6. Just say you come from the podcast, and I'm sure we can share some starbars with you if there is any to be had. We are working on some great stuff with the podcast for the coming months, with the slight possibility of a few Video-editions of the SDAS podcast, (as since our audio editor guy is doing his JCert, he does not have time to mess up the timings with the slides) and a tiny tiny bit more. (Think: working on sponsorship = more funds for the club = better talks!) All this is still speculation, but where there is a will there is a way! Join us for our next episode, coming at ya round about next monday, (but probably sooner!)
