Thought I was getting close to seeing #Comet C/2023 A3 #Tsuchinshan-ATLAS this evening, but not yet... Tomorrow is the best starting date for northern hemisphere observers (including Ireland!) to bring an end to #SpaceWeek2024 Space Week MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory Midlands Astronomy

SPACENEWS: AURORA tonight! A big chance to see the northern lights in Ireland guys! Get out there, bring your phones (the aurora comes out better with cameras) & check out one of the most magical astronomy events for Earth, gifted by the Suns activity! #aurora Pics from summer

#Taurus, #Jupiter, the #Pleaides... and an approaching alien invasion in Blueball, Offaly!! #aurora @ 23:12hrs.

On Tuesday night last, I made my way to KerryAstronomy Club to present my talk "The #Aurora and the End of the World" in MTU Tralee. KAC are such a lovely, generous club and have been so kind to me each time I visit over the years. nicely into their #SpaceWeek activities too. 🌞

This morning I was a guest on Andrew Geweke 103 with Will Faulkner to talk about last night's #aurora visible across Ireland, how the aurora occurs and what can happen when enough solar energy hits #Earth. #northernlights #amateurastronomy Midlands Astronomy youtu.be/7iturPlHEb0?si…

Comet hunting! 19:00hrs, not seeing it yet. #comet #amateurastronomy #atlas #a3 MTU Blackrock Castle Observatory

Venus lower left, Arcturus upper middle-right, #Comet A3 in the middle, following the power line in-between them. Just now in Blueball.

A small peep at my #microbits coding workshops in Portlaoise today with #PortlaoiseLibrary for #DojoMor DojoMór ⚙️🤖😊

Last Saturday was DojoMór across Ireland! I hosted #Microbit Family Workshops in #PortlaoiseLibrary. Kids aged 6-13 used #Scratch to make controllers display various things. Even linked in to #TullamoreLibrary and Dean Hodge Laois County Council #STEMinAction #DojoMor2024

Getting ready for Wintertime Astronomy! Paul Fitzgerald Midlands Astronomy presents "#ORION: ONE OF OUR FAVOURITE CONSTELLATIONS" tonight at 6:30pm in Tullamore Library. He will guide us through why we look forward to this fascinating constellation. Free admission, all welcome.

YR4 was detected on 27 December 2024. Astronomers calculated that it was between 40m and 90m across. This would have the power of a nuclear bomb were it to hit the Earth and cause severe damage if the impact was in a populated area. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Our #STEM team joined colleagues from #WestmeathCountyCouncil & #OffalyCountyCouncil on Friday to support #LongfordCountyCouncil team's #MicrosoftDreamSpace event. 28 schools showcased talent for making the world better & sustainable! #eujtf #EUinmyRegion #staycurious

20 SECONDS OF SCIENCE: The thermal protection system on the #SpaceShuttle used silica tiles to dissipate the heat of atmospheric re-entry. Seconds after reaching 1,650°C, you could safely hold a tile in your hand without burning. #STEMinAction #silica #stem #sciencefacts
