Hi all,
Please note: send all correspondence to me only at: terrymosel@aol.com
1. Midsummer BBQ and Visit to OM /Davagh Observatory, 22 June
* This is the first Dark Sky Park and public observatory in N. Ireland. It's set in a hollow in the foothills of the Sperrin Mountains, just inside Davagh Forest Park. Ewe had a very successful visit there this trime last year.
* Because of our association with them and help in designing the observatory, we're getting a special price for the visit and tour. This will be only £4 per person, and at that rate we can't offer any further concession discounts. That will also include the BBQ facilities, but you BYO food etc!
* Partners & friends are also always welcome, and non-members too,
* Provisional timetable: Arrive about 2 p.m. for the BBQ.
* The tour of the Visitors' Centre and Observatory is booked for 4 p.m., although they may be able to take us a bit earlier, depending on the timing by a previous booking.
* BBQ: There are several purpose built BBQ areas at the far end of the car park. But there may not be enough seating for everyone, so if you have folding camping chairs or stools, and folding tables for your items, bring them.
* We will provide at least enough BBQ cooking area for most people, but if you have a portable BBQ, you can bring it to be safe, even if you don't need to use it.
* NB: All guests must bring their own consumables (food, drink, sauces etc), cutlery, plates, plastic cups/glasses etc.
* Solar observing: OM/Davagh have at least one Coronado solar scope, but we will also have our own solar observing equipment, and you're welcome to bring your own if you wish, if the weather is suitable.
* The other local attraction is the nearby Beaghmore Stone Circle complex, which may have an astronomical alignment. There's a proper walkway from the Observatory/VC to Beaghmore, with a scale model of the SS along the way. That takes about 40 minutes to walk each way, and it takes about 30 mts to see the site, so there would hardly be time for most people to walk there and back.
* So the if there is interest, we can arrange an optional trip there by cars after we have finished at OM. I can do a guided tour there, as I have done at their request about half a dozen times at the solstice. That would be on the way home for most people, so it would make sense to travel there from OM in your own transport.
* Weather: Obviously unpredictable at this stage but there's some shelter from the trees at the BBQ site if there's a shower. The VC has a snack area with tea, coffee, soft drinks confectionary etc, but no hot food. There's limited indoor seating for consuming those, and they would turn a blind eye if we ate our own sandwiches there, as long as we bought a drink and, say, a snack bar, from them as well.
* You may wish to bring insect repellent, in case the midges are active!
* Getting there: allow about 90 minutes from Belfast going via M1, Dungannon and Cookstown. For anyone on the N side of Belfast, the best route is via the M2 to the Castledawson Roundabout, then Tobermore and Draperstown; or Castledawson Rbt, Magherafelt, Desertmartin and Draperstown. It's signposted from Draperstown onwards.
* For those coming from elsewhere, you can approach it from either Cookstown or Omagh or Magherafelt. Once you're off the main roads, it's twisty hilly mountain roads, so allow about 20 minutes from each of those towns. It's well signposted (brown tourist signs) in the area.
* The car park is at: N 54.71977, W -6.91674
* The point at which all the access roads converge is: N 54.71902, W -6.94807, so that's where you have to aim for.
* The Beaghmore Stone Circles are at N 54. 70147, W – 6.93672
* PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY RETURN if you are planning to attend, and how many will be in your group. At this stage we only want an indication of how many will be attending, but later we'll be looking for payment by Paypal.
2. NLCs
The season for seeing this beautiful, ethereal, high level atmospheric phenomena has started. There have been a few sightings of faint displays of these silvery 'night-shining' clouds recently. They can be seen occasionally into mid – to late July, around local midnight. Look low in the North when the sky has got dark: quite often they will be seen in the region of Capella. They are caused by the Sun shining on very high altitude particles resulting from meteoric dust in the upper atmosphere. They are visible when the Sun is too far below the horizon to shine on ordinary 'tropospheric clouds'. Any smartphone should capture nice images of them, but obviously proper photographic equipment is even better.
3. IAA 50th Anniversary Event, Armagh, 18 May
Thanks to Prof Michael Burton and all his staff at AOP for making this a really superb event. We had a great attendance, and extremely positive feedback. Thanks also to Professors Stefano Bagnulo, Alan Fitzsimmons, Peter Gallager and Tom Ray for their excellent lectures. It was good to welcome friends from the IAS, MAC and GAC too. Keep the equivalent Saturday date in 2034 free for the next one!
4. KIDS IAU Collaborates with LEGO on Funstellation Campaign
From 23 May to 31 July, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and LEGO Group are joining forces to encourage kids all over the world to reimagine the night sky.
Throughout history, constellations have been defined by explorers, calendar makers, and cultures that imprinted their traditions on the stars. Today, astronomers officially recognise 88 constellations in the Northern and Southern hemispheres that have evolved from different culture's interpretations of the night sky. Constellations tell stories: they are used to represent rituals, mythologies, historical events and important aspects of everyday life.
Along with the IAU, LEGO Group encourages children worldwide to bring their unique creative lens to our view of the stars. To celebrate children's curiosity about the future of space, both the IAU and the LEGO Group are asking them to reimagine the night sky with their Funstellations: fun constellations they design as they look up.
Didac Phi, Associate Master Builder at the LEGO House, believes in the power of children's creativity to understand our Universe: "Children are our inspiration for play and creativity. With so much of the Universe yet to be explored, there's no science to say that what they create isn't possible or doesn't exist already." Through their Funstellations, children are encouraged to probe their understanding of our Universe and explore the cosmos from the comfort of their own minds.
Tomorrow's astronomers and explorers can download a sky map at LEGO.com/Space and join the dots together to show what object or shape they can see in the stars – maybe it's a pizza cowboy, a dancing dinosaur, or perhaps a giant mushroom holding a teacup. As they look up at the night sky, kids can imagine their own story through their new Funstellation and submit their creations to LEGO.com/Space. All entrants will be awarded a certificate of participation, and some Funstellations will be highlighted through the IAU's social media accounts.
Debra Elmegreen, President of the International Astronomical Union, says, "We are excited to tap the unbridled creativity of children through this collaboration by encouraging them to look up at the night sky and think about the stars. The next generation of scientists and space explorers will shape how we understand and interact with the Universe. With this project, we hope to give them a head start."
This project reminds us of the importance of protecting our dark skies from light pollution. Recent research using data collected from citizen scientists has shown that the night sky is brightening at an alarming rate; if light pollution is left unabated, future generations may not have access to a starry night sky. Through this collaboration, the IAU and LEGO hope to demonstrate the importance of preserving an astronomical legacy for generations to come, driven by the curiosity and creativity of today's children.
Head to the LEGO Space website for more information about how to participate!

11. Recurrent Nova T Corona Borealis.
You may have read in some social media in early March that T CrB was due to explode again in the next week or two: I stuck my neck out, and said that we couldn't predict the next outburst with that degree of accuracy. That period has now passed, so I was right.
There have now been several more reports, saying much the same thing. The position remains the same - It could explode tomorrow – or not for another year or more! It's normally around magnitude 10, but at outburst it reaches mag 2.0 or 2.5.
The first outburst was discovered by Irish astronomer John Birmingham in Tuam, Co Galway, in May 1866. Earlier archive observations indicate a possible previous outburst in about 1787. It erupted again in February 1946, indicating an approximate 80 year period. BUT you can't assume a period from only 2 intervals ! However, in the year before the 1946 outburst, it dimmed to magnitude 12.3, and this has happened again recently, suggesting a possible outburst is imminent. BUT, once again, you can't predict from a single event!
So it's certainly well worth keeping an eye on it - comparison charts can be found on the websites of the BAA Variable Star Section, or the AAVSO.
(BTW, don't confuse it with the other nearby famous variable star, R CrB, which does the opposite – it stays normally around 6th magnitude, but occasionally dims to as faint as magnitude 14 or 15!)
(And for comparison, the other not quite so well-known recurrent nova, RS Oph, was seen, or is thought to have, erupted 9 times since 1898 – with intervals of approximately 9, 26, 12, 13, 9, 18, 21 and 18 years; so its period is by no means constant.)
Anyway, do keep an eye out – T CrB lies just outside the East side of the circle of the 'Crown', about a degree from Epsilon CrB, but you really do need charts to observe it properly. It's rising in the NE as the bright twilight ends, about 25 degrees to the left of Arcturus. It's at Declination: 25° 55′ 12.613″; R.A.: 15h 59m 30.1622s
12. NEW DIFFICULT TEASER
What's next in this sequence: 81, 770, 4200, …?
No correct answers yet, so I'll give a clue: It's astronomical rather than mathematical.
Another clue – it's a ratio.
13. NEW EASY TEASER
What's next in this sequence: Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter….?
Clue: It's not something to do with the actual physical nature of the planets themselves.
Another clue: Don't be going round in circles trying to find the answer.
Remember, only send answers to me at my aol address: terrymosel@aol.com.
