The Irish Astronomical Association (IAA) will proudly launch \u201cHeavens Above\u201d, on Tuesday 8 November at 7pm at Clotworthy House.<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>This exhibition of astonishing photographs of the sky taken exclusively by members of the Association will be on display at the Conservatory Gallery at Clotworthy House, Antrim Castle Gardens until Saturday 3 December.<\/p>\n

Covering a range of subject matters from the mysterious clouds of the Milky Way, through the electric colours of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) down to the detailed capture of time-critical celestial events such as Solar and Lunar eclipses, this exhibition is a must see for anyone with an interest in the sky above us.<\/p>\n

Some of the pictures in this exhibition have been taken with specialist equipment from exotic locations in order to capture the very best starlight possible, however many others have also been captured from ordinary locations in Northern Ireland using off the shelf photographic equipment that many people would use for holiday snapshots. It is a measure of how far modern technology has progressed that such equipment is also able to capture such fabulous images in very low light.<\/p>\n

Included in \u201cHeavens Above\u201d are category winners of the International Astronomy Photographer of the Year Competition organised by the Royal Greenwich Observatory in London, and also the recent winner of Amateur Astrophotography<\/p>\n

E-zine\u2019s \u201cMilky Way\u201d competition.<\/p>\n

This exhibition offers free admission and is open each day from 9am until 5pm with late opening Tuesday & Thursdays until 9.30pm<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
