A MAJOR exhibition featuring on the night sky by members of the Dublin-based Irish Astronomical Society has just opened at Tralee Library and will continue for the next two weeks.
The “Images of Starlight” Exhibition is a stunning collection of sixty images of stars, planets, galaxies and other space objects photographed through telescopes in Ireland including a number taken from the Kerry International Dark Sky Reserve in South Kerry.
There was a good attendance on Thursday for the official opening by Cathaoirleach of Kerry County Council, Cllr. Norma Foley.

The event, which premiered in the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin in November and attracted several thousand visitors, is on its first visit outside the capital. It coincides and is linked to the Wild Mind Nature Festival in Fenit which continues until Sunday.
The exhibition, which ends on May 10 in Tralee, is supported by the Tourism Unit of Kerry County Council and will continue to Cahersiveen Library and the Kerry International Dark Reserve on May 15th and be on view there until mid-June.
