If you are near Croagh Patrick this evening keep an eye out for this. Viewed from the Boheh Stone (a boulder covered in prehistoric rock art) it appears as if the sun rolls down the side of the mountain. It occurs twice a year on April 18 & today August 24 carrowkeel.com/sites/croaghpa…

Another shot of the #Perseids at Avebury NT. Quite a bit of aurora visible in this shot as well. #perseids2024 #wiltshire National Trust

#Stonehenge has “big skies” - something really brought home to me since doing archaeoastronomy. Some of the sightlines (particularly the lunar ones) run for many miles across the Salisbury Plain, as we explain in our book. historicengland.org.uk/images-books/p…

Diametrically opposite K1 "The Entrance Stone" is K52 below. This highly decorated stone really comes alive in the Autumnal evening sun. #brunaboinne #discoverireland 📹 John

Incredible moonrise by Arthur’s seat.

The moon then hid behind Arthur’s Seat and Crow Hill gave birth to it. #lunarstandstill

JSA is deeply saddened by the news of Tim Darvill’s passing. Tim supported skyscape archaeology, was a JSA founding editorial member and a prolific contributor. Our mission to bridge the gap between archaeology and archaeoastronomy would have been much more difficult without him.

Dawn, at this moment, Iona Abbey.

A strange & remarkable night with the #Aurora over mid Wales. My son pulled me out of bed at 12.30 to go & see them again.. Visible with our own eyes & pulsating & changing every few minutes - just incredible. How were phenomena like this & rainbows viewed in past times?

An incredible night for the aurora borealis in Ireland, there was a really wonderful display visible here at Ballykeel Dolmen, County Armagh between 9.30-10.30pm. This portal tomb was likely built between 5,800-5,600 years ago. #Auroraborealis #megalithic #prehistoric

Ancient Light ✨ There she is. Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS in all her full-tailed glory, streaming though the sky above Eglwys St.Cwyfan ☄️ A visitor who last graced our skies 80,000 years ago, when Neanderthals still existed!

We know that Stonehenge was built to align with the movements of the sun but was it also built to align with the moon? Our Major Lunar Standstill Exhibition explores the connection between the stones and this once in a generation lunar event. Visit from 26th Oct. 📸: Nick Bull

Step into our pop-up planetarium at Stonehenge and join us for a journey through the solar system. 🌕 📅 Sat 26 Oct – Sun 3 Nov 🕒 9.30am – 5pm Book online ➡️ brnw.ch/21wO7F2 📷: Grant Privett
