We couldn’t see much of the eclipse at Trinity College Dublin, but the app (above) proves it happened..
Ah here.
A flipped morning eclipse to celebrate International Day of Happiness
Thanks Conor Healy
Pretty crap eclipse.
Yeah, the universe… pffft !

saw it for about 2 seconds before the clouds took over, pretty cool. Looks like a shiny lob-sided ring
I’d get a doctor to check that if I were you.
Great eclipse – could it see it grand!
Cloud acted as the perfect filter.
Irish weather – protecting your eyesight since the dawn of time!
Yep, thin layer of cloud in South County Dublin was perfect. All moved very quickly and the eerie darkness and chill is especially dramatic. Good show.
Wonder of nature was a massive anti climax
Less people claimed to have been in the GPO in 1916 than have claimed to have ‘seen something’ this morning :-)
’99 was much better. It’s enough to make you all mushy and nostalgic about solar activity…mmf.
Roll on ’26.
Got a quick look at it too. Turns out the net curtain on my window was a perfect filter too. Delighted.

thanks, moon.
God damn Enda Kenny and his cohort putting up clouds in our way…. another waste of our taxpayers money!
I managed to snap this about half an hour after maximum obscurity when the sun briefly peeked through the clouds.
As said above, for once the clouds acted like a giant set of sunglasses and could see the eclipse perfectly through the haze (not always but at the perfect moments).
Irish Clouds Pros : Works as a filter for eclipses
Irish Clouds Cons : Place is full of terrorists as spy satellites can’t penetrate and take pics

More of this, it’s Friday !
I will quote those last two lines.
I will attribute them to Murtles.
:D
Nice pics, well done all.

Carnage down our way, herds of bioraptors (or Northsiders as we sometimes call them) went on the rampage but luckily Vin Diesel turned up and kicked their asses.
I initially read that as licked.
Damned autocorrect.
You’re quite sectarian for a shinner.
Don’t you dare say a bad word about the Shinners. Just you marvel at their initiatives like this anti dog fouling ad which they’ve launched today for their Newry and Mourne council area which they control. Money well spent, I know you’ll agree. More of this sort of thing down here I say.

…my disappointed 90yo neighbour complained that it was the last eclipse she was getting up for.
That’s both sad and sweet at the same time.
I hope you told her that she will see the next one from the opposite side of the sun. Will be awesome.
Turn around, bright eyes
Bright eyes. Burning like fire
All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that’s to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
Sure, we were all on The Dark Side Of The Moon this morning :)
