Eclipse Event – a Date for your Diaries!

Here’s an invitation to people interested in astronomy to join staff from the Department of Physics at Maynooth University on Wednesday, August 12th 2026 from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm for a special public celebration of one of the deepest solar eclipses visible from Ireland in decades. The next eclipse with > 90% obscuration of the Sun by the Moon won’t be seen again in Ireland until 2090, by which time I will have retired.

Experience the eclipse safely through:

• eclipse viewing glasses
• solar telescopes
• live astronomy demonstrations

List of Solar Talks during the evening:

• Dr. Emma Whelan – The Story of the Sun
• Dr. Joshuah Heath – The Quantum Sun
• Dr. Marcin Gradziel – (Electric) Power from the Sun. The good, the bad, and the glinty!
• Dr. Michelle McCrystall – The star of the show: How the Sun drives our climate
• Prof. Peter Coles – Einstein and the Eclipse (Who He? Ed.)
• Dr. Patrick Kavanagh – Will our Sun go Supernova?

The evening will also include:

• an immersive* astronomy show in our inflatable planetarium
• hands-on arts and crafts activities for children

*especially if it rains

Maynooth University Staff can reserve a place here until June 14th, after which booking will be opened to the general public – I’ll repost this invitation with a link at that time.

We are headed into a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus, a recipe for seismic shake-ups in consensus reality. There's a lot going on in the skies these days, and it's worth while to take a breath and a little time to process it, together.
