I did notice a possible connection with Mary Tamm's Baltic homeland - the observatory whose nickname is the title of the story has a tame astronomer called Öpik (I think - might be 'Erpick' I suppose) who presumably commemorates the famous scientist from Estonia who lived out his declining decades in Northern Ireland, and whose grandson Lembit became a prominent Liberal Democrat. Or maybe it is just coincidence.
