Former NASA astronaut Daniel Tani will lead a Space Week road trip, speaking at events in Cork, Kerry and Limerick. The annual Space Week Ireland is kicking off this Saturday (4 October) with more than two dozen events and workshops held under this year’s theme – ‘Living in Space’. Coordinated by Munster Technological University (MTU) Blackrock Castle Observatory (BCO), Space Week 2025 is running until 10 October, and is open to students, families, general members of the public and members of the scientific community to come explore life in space. Early registrations will result in automatic entry into a draw for Space Week prizes. The annual Space Week shines a light on Ireland’s rich and underrepresented legacy in astronomy and astrophysics.
