The project aims to investigate the historical geographies of astronomy at Armagh Observatory, which is the oldest continuously-active astronomical research institution in the British Isles. The importance of place and landscape to the science conducted at the Observatory is evidenced by its position in the wider regional landscape, the situation of several historic astronomical instruments, and its ecclesiastical and civic connections to the City of Armagh. The student, based partly at the Observatory and partly at QUB Geography Department, will be in a unique position to re-appraise the Observatory's scientific heritage at an important time in its contemporary development.

该项目旨在调查Armagh天文台天文学的历史地理，这是不列颠群岛最古老的连续活动天文研究机构。位置和景观对在天文台进行的科学的重要性可以证明其在更广泛的区域景观中，几种历史天文工具的状况以及其与阿玛格市的教会和公民联系。该学生部分位于天文台，部分位于QUB地理部门，将处于一个独特的地位，可以在当代发展的重要时期重新宣传天文台的科学遗产。
