The closest to a complete solar eclipse most of us are ever likely to see occurred on Wednesday evening. The sun was obscured by the moon on Wednesday over Ireland, Iceland, the UK, France, Spain and Portugal.
A total eclipse – where the moon fully blocks the sun – could be seen in western Iceland, northern Spain and the Balearic Islands.
The eclipse was visible in Ireland from about 6pm until 8pm and peaked between 7pm and 7.45pm. Frank McNally reports on the spectacle on our front page this morning – you can read the article here.
Did you manage to get out and view the eclipse? Did you travel to a better viewing spot, or attend a viewing party? Was this your first eclipse, or do you remember watching the skies in 1999? Did you manage to get your hands on a pair of sought-after eclipse glasses, or create your own safe viewing solution? The Irish Times would like to hear from you – feel free to share your experience and eclipse photos.
