The Irish Astronomical Association was formed in 1974 and draws its 200+ members from both the UK and Ireland. The IAA membership ranges from complete beginners to accomplished observers and astrophotographers.
The lecture programme is held in association with the School of Mathematics and Physics, Queen’s University Belfast. It runs from September until April and is held in the Bell Lecture Theatre in the Physics Building, main campus, Queen’s University, Belfast.
Meetings start at 7-30pm sharp and consist of a short talk given by one of our members followed by the main lecture, usually given by a professional astronomer. The lecture over, light refreshments are available free of charge. At this time members are free to mix and discuss the latest astronomical news and events. The meeting finishes at 10.00pm.
