the eclipse will be visible from here because the sun will set before the eclipse will reach its maximum phase. The eclipse will start at 19:55:51 local time.”
The last partial eclipse in Ireland was on October 25, 2022.
US residents are expected to travel in their millions to see the total eclipse there on April 8, but experts are advising caution when viewing.
Damage
The meteorological phenomenon is set to traverse a dozen states next Monday afternoon from Texas to Maine.
But eye experts have warned potential damage may not be “worth the risk”.
According to Health News Florida, the sun’s bright rays can burn cells in the retina. The only safe way to reportedly view the solar event is with ‘eclipse’ sunglasses.
NASA is investigating after a piece of possible space junk tore through the roof of a home in Florida, US.
Alejandro Otero was left in “disbelief” when a small metal object came crashing through his home, leaving a large hole in the ceiling, on March 8.
“It was a tremendous sound. It almost hit my son. He was two rooms over and heard it all,” Alejandro told local reporters.
“I was shaking. I was completely in disbelief. What are the chances of something landing on my house with such force to cause so much damage?”
His at-home video surveillance system captured the shocking sound of the object crashing through his
A TINY 2mm protected snail is stalling plans by Donald Trump for a new basketball court, soft play areas and other resort improvements at his west Co Clare resort.
Clare County Council also wants Trump’s golf club and hotel in Doonbeg to clarify whether people using the new recreation areas would be at risk of being hit on the head by golf balls.
It has written to his TIGL Ireland Enterprises Ltd requesting a report on the potential impact of the works on the population of the EU-protected Vertigo Angustior snail there.
The Council has told the Trump firm that the report should include a full survey report on the snail.
There are tens of millions of the whorl snail at the course and shortly after purchasing the resort in 2014, Trump told reporters that he would be a friend to the Vertigo Angustior at the site. home at around 2.30pm.
The object weighed two pounds, was man-made, and went through two layers of his property.

NASA has collected the metal object, according to news website Ars Technica, and is attempting to determine its origin “as soon as possible”.
The International Space Station had scheduled for debris to be brought back to Earth, with the materials due to land in the ocean near Cuba.
A report lodged with the application states that given its location outside the terrestrial Special Area of Conservation areas, the golf course proper, and the absence of the snail on the works areas, “there is no potential for the proposed development to adversely affect the integrity of Vertigo Angustior conservation objectives”.
However, the Council has stated that as no snail survey report was received in the planning application, it can’t determine if surveys were carried out in the three 1km areas relating to the creatures and requires further information. The Council is also requesting proposed mitigation measures to combat the potential for golf ball strikes on patrons. Locals had already written to the Council urging it to grant permission. Diarmuid O’Donnell said it would help create more “badly wanted” jobs in the area. Among the objectors, Joe Pender and Jenny Lynch said they are concerned about traffic and that the local road was never intended for industrial use.
