Ireland to witness Northern Lights spectacular in coming weeks - VIDEO

this is fantasic i am thinking of going up next week with the children

Oh, if only! This is on my list (or Bucket List, I guess) to be able to see the Aurora Borealis. And to see it in Ireland! Double whammy because I could also visit my Mom's memorial site in Hollymount. Think I need to light more candles at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine here in NYC. You are allowed to write your wish on the candle's glass - this would be a great wish to see fulfilled!

Can these "Northern Lights" be seen only by northerner's or can 'southern fenian papist(?) idolators' like me see them as well? Though admittedly, the Vatican did consider theories against heliocentrism (i.e. earth orbiting around the sun) to be scientifically heretical once. Seriously though, the video clip was truly awesome. Thanks guys!

When did you see them oaklongan & jenniferReindl?

That Aurora Borealis photo over Donegal took my breath away! Beam me over, ASAP! Yes, Cathal Dervan..noticed that 'Astrologers' blooper, other reporters make the same, so I've read. Irish Astronomer Brendan Alexander and the late Carl Sagan would probably just laugh, too. Anyway, Cheers for the article!

Go outside Leitrim man, they'll be there!

Astrologists predict the Northern lights will be seen? I dint think so Cathal. Astronomers might be a better bet!

I beleive it is the most spectacular in the world. and someday i will be able to witness the beauty of this with my own eyes. I am from South Dakota and we also have the Northern lights here, but, nothing as spectacular as in Ireland...Thank you for sharing!

Very exciting. Is it rare to see the Northern Lights in Ireland?
