Amateur astronomers look to the stars
YOUNG STARGAZERS gathered in great numbers in New Ross Library recently for a fun filled art and astronomy workshop.
The group of fifteen amateur astronomers enjoyed the hour long workshop under the tutelage of Deirdre Kelleghan who developed the workshop.
The kids spent the afternoon learning about the many moons in the solar system and using pastels to produce wonderful artistic drawings of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
This Deadly Moons Workshop, which was held as part of Science Week nationwide, formed part of UNAWE, (Universe Awareness for Young Children) a cornerstone project for International Year of Astronomy 2009.
