Astronomy Outreach Pages at the Centre for Astronomy

We are committed to the public understanding of science in general and of astronomy in particular. Members of the centre regularly give public talks and lectures and participate in many science outreach activities. In autumn 2010 we are continuing our programme of Open Evenings at the Imbusch Observatory. In 2011 we are continuing our programme of public lectures. Each talk, given by a member of the CfA, will discuss a particular area of astronomy normally linked to their research interests. They will be suitable for everyone and in particular to 2nd level students.
