Great day at DIAS Dunsink Observatory talking future space missions … and checking out sunspots with the historic Grubb Refractor. Not a bad way to spend my birthday.

Spotted this rolled up on a shelf in Birr Castle today: “Observations of the radiation of heat from the Moon Dec 1868 - Apr 1869”.
The 4th Earl made a 3 foot telescope and thermopile to measure lunar heat. Pretty amazing.

Received our new advanced propulsion system at Dunsink Observatory today courtesy of Fingal County Council. The e-cargo bike can do 25km/h on the flat and takes the pain out of hills, wind, etc.
