Astronomy Ireland has announced that a major aurora is expected to be visible in Irish skies, urging anyone who witnesses these phenomena to submit photos for publication.
Despite a cloudy forecast for Friday night, improved conditions are expected to lead to visibility of the aurora borealis Saturday night, especially in less populated areas.
Stargazers aiming to see the northern lights are advised to escape cloudy conditions and light pollution, particularly from major urban centers, to maximize their chances.
The forecast for viewing the aurora can only be given with short notice, commonly within a 48-hour window, linking it to solar flares captured by monitoring agencies.
