Went to a talk last night in Dunsink Observatory (highly recommend visiting)with Conor Nixon, Belfast man working as one of the main scientist for NASA on the Cassini mission to Saturn. INCREDIBLE images, footage and stories. My mind was quite literally blown. Afterwards they brought us out and showed us a giant telescope. I was buzzin'. ALSO GOT A NASA STICKER AND BOOKMARK.
