Schedule:
Friday 3rd October: The Night Sky for Space Week
We’ll guide you through the night sky for Space Week. We’ll discuss the best times to view the Moon, how to identify some key constellations and even how to spot the planet Saturn. All of this and more, even without a telescope!

Monday 6th October: Space Art with BCO – Living in Space
Space Week’s most popular event is back! This year we’ll be exploring the theme of “Living in Space” through art. What will it take to live in space? What would it look like? How can we build homes in space? How do we feed ourselves? We’ll explore all these questions and more while encouraging the audience to express their own creative take on what Ireland’s future in space might look like!

Tuesday 7th October: Terrestrial!
Join the BCO team for a video-playthrough of the brand new board game Terrestrial! The team’s spacecraft has been damaged and they need to find an Earth-like Exoplanet to land on. Will they safely make it or will they crash and burn? Tune in to find out! We’ll walk you through everything you need to print and play this free new board game!
Throughout the summer the team at MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory will be producing even more programming for Space Week TV so check back in September to see what new shows have been added to the mix!
