      Aurora Alert: Potential for aurora to be visible again in Northern Areas . If not now , then in the next hour or so. Best place to be is away from city lights , up high with the furthest view of the horizon. Good luck!


      good luck anyone in Donegal or any Northern Areas

Also, the corpo have been out and about all day cleaning shores at areas that have been prone to flooding in latter years so they must be expecting a deluge! Whats the betting we'll get nothing...just like them having all the salt and sand for the snow last winter and it wasn't needed lol
          According to the news today the East coast of Ireland will be hit by a Deluge of Rain tomorrow. Floods are expected to hit parts of Dublin City.

              2. 'Supermoon' This Saturday

              This Saturday, May 5th, sees a very special kind of Full Moon commonly known as a 'supermoon', when observers will have a chance to see a bigger and brighter Moon than usual.



              We are urging people to take photographs of the Moon this weekend and email them to observe@astronomy.ie to be included in an upcoming issue of Astronomy & Space magazine.

                    Venus Watch

                    On its way to the historic transit of the Sun in June, Venus will swell up into a huge crescent as it blazes in the evening skies every night in May .



                    For one night only, Astronomy Ireland will set up telescopes at its Shop in Dublin and around Ireland to show you Venus as it comes spectacularly close to Earth.

                    Venus Watches will take place on Wednesday, May 23rd, at 8pm. Note that this event is in daylight, but Venus is so bright you can see it with the naked eye while the Sun is still shining, showing just how spectacular an event this is!
