Tonight’s your best chance to see Jupiter and Venus close together for the next 40 years

Stargazers are being advised that tonight’s your best chance to see Jupiter and Venus close together for the next 40 years.

Astronomy Ireland is hosting a Star-B-Que in Roundwood, Co. Wicklow with powerful telescopes so people can get the best views of the skies.

The night will also feature food, a talk on Black Holes – and another on how outer space has changed on our TV and cinema screens.
