Join us for a day of space-themed activities and talks organised by the Cuilcagh Lakelands Geopark and the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium!

For teens keen on science, join us for a talk by comet expert Dr Rok Nežič to have all your questions about these peculiar celestial visitors answered. Did you know we might even see a bright comet in the autumn night skies this year, if we’re lucky? The talk will be followed by a workshop on the nature of light and a drawing challenge: draw your own comet, or perhaps a fireball flying across the sky.

This workshop is funded by Shared Island and Creative Cavan as part of Cruinniu na nÓg
