Hi all, 
        1. IAA LECTURE  & AGM,  Wed 18 April, 7.30 p.m.
        The AGM will comprise the usual reports, presentation of accounts, and  election of President, officers, and other Council members. This year we are  lucky in that the AGM coincides with a major solar conference being held by the  Astrophysics Research Centre at QUB, and thanks to  Prof Mihalis Mathioudakis of QUB, we have a bonus feature – a lecture by a  visiting top European Solar Physicist!
           For various time and logistical reasons that  will be the first event of the evening, starting at 7.30 sharp. That will then  be followed by the AGM itself, commencing at about 8.15
        LECTURE: "The Eye of the Giant: Solving the Sun's  mysteries with the European Solar Telescope" by Dr Ada Ortiz Carbonell.   ABSTRACT: Let's be honest: the Sun, when  compared to other stars, is a pretty mediocre star. It is not very big, it is  not very small. It is not very hot, it is not very cold. And it is in the  middle of its life. But it is our own star, the one that gives us light and  warmth, the star that gives us life. Life in planet Earth would not be possible  without our Sun. In this talk we will travel through the wonders of our very  own nuclear reactor. I will talk about how Earth — and indeed all of us —  interacts with the Sun, about the so-called Space Weather, about the internal  workings of the star and about what we still do not know about it. After one  hundred years since the discovery of magnetic field in the Sun by George Ellery  Hale, still many questions remain unanswered. In this context, the European  Solar Telescope mega-project will help scientists to extract the smallest  details of the Sun's atmosphere and, hopefully, to give an answer to some of  the long standing mysteries that surround the Sun. I will end the talk by  giving a first hand insight on this 4-meter class European solar telescope that  will use tomorrow's technology to bring the Sun a little bit closer to us.
              Doors open about 7.10 pm. There is free  parking available on the campus in the evenings. Admission Free, including  light refreshments. We are located in the Bell Theatre, Department of  Mathematics and Physics, QUB

        3.  LYRIDS: The Lyrid meteors will peak on the evening of 22-23  April, with little interference from Moonlight. The radiant is not far from  Vega, and in good conditions you might see 15-20 meteors per hour with the  radiant high up.
        4. ISS The ISS will commence a new series  of morning passes over Ireland  on 6 May, and this will later transition into evening passes which will  continue until 6 June.
        5. HIGH – RES TOUR of LUNAR  HIGHLIGHTS:  This is so good it gets a special place here: 
        https://youtu.be/nr5Pj6GQL2o Among other views, it zooms in to  show not just the Apollo 17 Lunar Module base, but the Rover, and all the  vehicle tracks. So will the Moon-Landing Deniers concede they're wrong? Not a  chance – facts are irrelevant when you've already made up your mind.
        6. HEAVENS ABOVE PHOTO EXHIBITION. The IAA's highly rated astrophoto exhibition  "Heavens Above" has finished its final and very popular run at Belfast   City Hospital.

13. National  Schools' Observatory  Inquiry-Based  Science Projects for Astronomy Students
Launched in 2004, the National Schools' Observatory (NSO) provides free access to the two-metre Liverpool Telescope for school students and teachers throughout the UK and Ireland, and reduced access to anyone worldwide. It currently has over 4,000 users regularly engaging with the website resources and over 125,000 telescope observations requested since inception. As part of these resources, the NSO has developed an extended research activity on open clusters providing students with background material, research-grade data and instructions allowing them to produce their own Colour-Magnitude (or Hertzsprung-Russell) diagrams. Students are then encouraged to upload and discuss their results within a forum. Find the start page of the activity here https://www.schoolsobservatory.org/discover/projects/clusters/main

23. Inspiring Stars—the IAU Inclusive World Exhibition, 20-31  August 2018
"Inspiring Stars" will be an itinerant international exhibition promoted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) to disseminate world efforts on inclusive research and outreach activities in astronomy. This inclusive world exhibition by showcasing assistive research tools and best inclusive outreach practices intends to broaden the horizons of children, parents, teachers and astronomers—everybody can become a scientist (astronomer)—inspiring the love for science in young people's minds.
The exhibition will premiere during the IAU General Assembly 2018 in Vienna, from 20–31 August and will be shown around the world. Stay tuned as we keep you posted on all the progress of this IAU not-to-be-missed project for 2018!

24. The professional astronomy conference European Planetary Science Congress 2018 (EPSC) will be held from September  16 to September 21, 2018 in Berlin,   Germany.  This yearly conference gives an inspiring insight of the latest discoveries and  the current status of Solar System astronomy and planetary science and welcomes  the participation of amateur astronomers.
        In particular  the AM1 session "Professional-amateur  collaborations in small bodies, terrestrial, giant and exo planets studies"  and the AM2 session "Juno Ground-Based Support from Amateurs"  are organized by amateur astronomers together with professionals and are open  to presentations by amateurs. We invite you to actively participate to these  sessions by contributing a paper (fill in the abstract submission form in the  "Amateur  Astronomy" program group, deadline May 16th, 2018) and/or to  exchange views and ideas with other amateur and professional astronomers.  Contributions will be oral talks and poster contributions. The language at the  meeting will be English for all presentations. 
        Please note that  this year EUROPLANET-2020 will provide budget to support amateurs from  European countries. This budget will be allocated to in priority to  active contributors (with oral or poster contributions, selected  considering their scientific value and promoting diversity of participants from  different countries). Depending on the budget left, amateurs only attending  to the conference could also be (partially) funded (if you are interested,  please let me know).
        Please feel free to  circulate this message to all those who might be interested in the event.  Looking forward your contribution or participation, Marc Delcroix and Ricardo  Hueso, SOC members of EPSC2018 AM program
