“We believe that our collective astronomical heritage is out of this world and firmly meets the robust criteria needed for this status.”
The application, in partnership with the Irish astronomical observatories at Birr in Co Offaly and Dunsink in Dublin, is to seek listing on the UK’s tentative list for World Heritage status.
“World Heritage requires outstanding universal value. A significance so exceptional that is transcends national boundaries. We believe that our collective astronomical heritage is out of this world and firmly meets the robust criteria needed for this status”, he said. “I feel our case for World Heritage is strong and fully supported by Armagh Observatory’s amazing history. It encapsulates our desire to keep exploring, asking questions, delving deeper and continuing to play a leading role in influencing humanity’s perceptions about the cosmos.”
