Armagh Planetarium which was established in 1967 illustrates the story of space exploration and explains the mysteries of the night sky.

The third Director of Armagh Observatory, Dr. Romney T. Robinson, held office for 59 years. His successor, Dr. J.L.E. Dreyer, needed a more powerful telescope for his investigations of star clusters and nebulae and decided to dedicate it to the memory of Dr. Robinson. The new telescope, built by Grubb in Dublin, was installed in 1885 and at that quite a powerful instrument of its kind.

The telescope was used regularly for more than 90 years by a succession of Armagh astronomers. One of the highlights was the observations of an outburst on a nearby cool star by Dr. David Andrews. This outbursT was the largest one ever recorded for such a star and was one reason why Armagh astronomers study these so-called "flare stars" even today.

However, the telescope is no longer in active service. Armagh astronomers now make use of the much more sophisticated new-technology telescopes at international observatories in more perfect climates. The telescope can be seen in its original dome in the gardens surrounding the Obsevatory between 9.30 and 16.30 of every working day....
