All Our Yesterdays: Star Gazing in Armagh
All Our Yesterdays: Star Gazing in Armagh They have been staring into space in Armagh for over two centuries. The city's observatory, founded in 1790, is the second oldest in the British Isles and remains an important centre for astronomical observation today. A new departure in 1966 was the plan to build a planetarium in the grounds of the observatory, where visitors could watch 360 degree displays of the night sky and through audio-visual presentations understand more about the universe we live in. It was the first non-commercial public venture of its kind in the British Isles and by July of that year the £70,000 building was starting to take on its distinctive circular shape. Much of the work was personally supervised by the planetarium's first director, TV astronomer Patrick Moore. It took two years before the planetarium was finally ready for its first public showings. The official opening was carried out on May 1, 1968 by the then Northern Ireland Prime Minister,Terence O'Neill. I have selected some photographs from our archive, from the build to the people who have worked there. By Paul Carson
