NI Science Festival

22 February, 2020

QUB Astronomy Day and Astronomy Question Time, held on Saturday 22 February for the Science Festival.

1. Lasers Live

Ulster Museum

Every Day 11:00am-5:00pm, until Saturday 22 February. (Workshops every hour)

Suitability: 6 Yrs+
Free. Drop in

Ever wondered why a light bulb brightens up a whole room while a laser produces only a very narrow beam of light? Lasers Live will demonstrate how light is a form of energy, how different colours interact differently, and how lasers can provide us with technologies that were the stuff of dreams just a decade ago. Experts from the Centre for Plasma Physics, Queen’s University Belfast, will be on hand to explain these topics and many more. A unique opportunity for adults and children alike to discover how research by laser and plasma physicists at Queen’s is playing a leading role in how our future world will look.

2. QUB Astronomy Day

Lanyon Black and White Hall/Canada Room/Council Chamber

Saturday 22 February, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm

Join the Astronomers at QUB for space-related family fun, including hands-on booths, an ask-an-astronomer station, a demonstration of the Northern Lights using the Queen’s University Planeterella, and short talks by Queen’s astronomers. Weather permitting,  there will be a selection of small solar telescopes outside, showing visitors sunspots, prominences and other features visible on our Sun that day.
