We received wonderful news that former student Dr. Conor Byrne graduated with his PhD in astrophysics at a recent virtual graduation ceremony in Trinity College.
Some of our current TY students had the opportunity to meet Conor when a group of students from Avondale Community College visited the Armagh Observatory and Planetarium last year. Conor has also been a guest at our Annual Awards Night. We wish Conor all the best in his future career.
