Kilcullen Diary: Congratulations to Sean and Caroline

DID YOU KNOW?

NASA funds an asteroid impact early warning system developed by the University of Hawaii, named ATLAS for Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System. Four telescopes, two in Hawaii and one each in Chile and South Africa, automatically scan the whole sky several times every night looking for moving objects. The system has so far discovered 1,087 near-Earth asteroids, 101 potentially dangerous ones, and 94 comets. Once of these last, 2023 A3 discovered last year, will become bright enough in the next two weeks to be seen with the naked eye.

Congratulations to Sean and Caroline

Congratulations to Sean Ellis and Caroline Keyes who were recently married in The Abbey in Athy. Sean is the daughter of Freda Ellis, neé O'Halloran, formerly of Kilcullen, and her husband Dave.

"I left Kilcullen in 1976, and it was such a wonderful happy occasion for the family to all meet up," Freda told the Diary. "It was just wonderful to be able to host so many of my extended family and friends around the various accommodations in Kilcullen. Nothing but great reviews from all regarding the friendliness and beauty of the town ... it made me proud of the town I grew up in!"
