9.ƒŠLARGE PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPSE, 20 MARCH: The IAA isƒŠrunning public observing eventsƒŠfor SAFE public viewing ofƒŠthis really major event, atƒŠthe followingƒŠlocations: QUB in Belfast, in front of the Whitla Hall, main campus; Scrabo Tower car park, near Newtownards; the Chaine Memorial Park at Larne seafront; and the seafront car park at Portballintrae, Co Antrim.ƒŠ
THE DISAPPEARING SUN
On the morning of Friday 20 March,ƒŠabout two hoursƒŠafter sunrise, the Sun will start to disappear.ƒŠthe long awaited eclipse of the Sun.ƒŠThis will be the biggest solar eclipse in Ireland since 1999, and the biggest until 12 AugustƒŠ2026.
ƒŠƒŠ Ireland and Scotland are the best places in these islands to see the eclipse, with NW Mayo and Donegal seeing theƒŠgreatest eclipse in Ireland. ItƒŠwill reach 95.5% in NW Donegal, and almost 95% in L'derry. All of Ulster will see at least 93% eclipse, and nowhere in Ireland will experience less than 91%.
ƒŠƒŠ The Moon will appear to move across the Sun from West to East, i.e. from right to left as we look at it.
ƒŠƒŠ The Moon's shadow will sweep across Ireland from SW to NE. Thus -
The eclipse will beginƒŠbetween about 08.19 in SW Kerry, and at about 08.27 in NE Antrim.
Maximum eclipse will be between 09.22 in SW Kerry and 09.31 in the NE of the island.
It will end between 10.30 in the SW and 10.39 in the NE of the island.
ƒŠƒŠ(It will be a total eclipse, where 100% of the Sun will be obscured, in the N Atlantic, but the only land crossed by the track of totality will be the Faroe Islands (where I will be)ƒŠand the Svalbard Archipelago inside the Arctic Circle.)
ƒŠƒŠ EYE SAFETY: It is VERY IMPORTANT that you do not look at the Sun during any stage of the eclipse with any sort of optical instrument such as binoculars or a telescope, and you should NOT look at it directly even with just your eyes. Even though a large part of the Sun will be covered, the part that remains will be just as bright, and it will damage your eye if you look at it directly.ƒŠ
DO NOT attempt to observe it with any type of Sunglasses, 3-D glasses,ƒŠphotographic filters, coloured plastic or a CD, or anything like that.
ƒŠƒŠƒŠ SAFE WAYS TO OBSERVE THE ECLIPSE:ƒŠ
Unless you have proper CE certified eclipse viewers, or a No 14 Welder's glass, or a proper solar telescope or solar filter, there are onlyƒŠ4 ways to observe safely.ƒŠ
1. PROJECTIONƒŠ Use one half of a pair of binoculars (cap one front lens, and use the other one), or a small telescope with your widest angle eyepiece, to project the image of the Sun through the instrument onto a white card about A4 size, held about 20-30 cm behind the eyepiece. Adjust the focus until the image is sharp. Do NOT attempt to look through the eyepiece, or even through any small finder telescope! And don't let bare skin on your hands get behind the eyepiece or you may get a sore skin burn.ƒŠ
ƒŠƒŠ To aim the telescope at the Sun, point it towards it without looking through it, and then adjust it so that its shadow on the card appears smallest âÀÓ it should then be pointing at the Sun. This will give you the most detailed imageƒŠYou'll have to adjustƒŠtheƒŠinstrumentƒŠperiodically as the Sun moves across the sky. You can photo this projected image.
2.ƒŠMULTIPLE PINHOLES: YouƒŠcan get a lovely artistic effect using a vegetable colander or cook's spoon with multiple small round holes: Let the Sun shine through the holes onto a piece of white card about a foot or two behind it, and you'll see multiple images of the eclipse - a particularly beautiful effect near the maximum stages of the eclipse
3. CEREAL BOX VIEWER: Make your own solar eclipse viewer, using a large sound empty cereal box. Cut a piece of white card or whiteƒŠpaper which will just fit neatly into the bottom of the box. Dab glue on the back of it to hold it on the bottom of the box. Cut a 2 to 4 cm square hole in the top flaps near a narrow side of the box. Tape a piece of aluminium kitchen foil completely over this hole. Using a thick needle or a small nail, punch a neat hole through the middle of the foil. Then cut another hole in the other side of the top of the box so you can look down into the bottom of the box.
ƒŠƒŠ Then stand with your back to the Sun and allow it to shine through the pinhole onto the bottom of the box, as you look through the other opening, and you'll see a nice small but clear image of the eclipse taking place! If the image is too faint, enlarge the hole slightly.
ƒŠƒŠ Get someone to hold the box and try to photograph the image of the eclipse.
4. REFLECTION IN WATER: Fill a dark bucket 4/5 full with water, shelter it from wind so there are no ripples, and look at the reflection of the Sun
ƒŠƒŠ PUBLIC ECLIPSEƒŠVIEWING: the Irish Astronomical Association will run public viewing events using special safe solar telescopes and filters at the following locations, from aboutƒŠ8.20 a.m.ƒŠ(weather permitting!)
Belfast: Queen's University, in front of the Whitla Hall, University Road (in association with the ARC, Dept of Physics)
Larne: Chaine Memorial Park, seafront.
Newtownards: Scrabo HillƒŠCar Park
Portballintrae: Seafront car park
ƒŠ Full details of the eclipse forƒŠ62 towns and cities in Ireland, together with the islands and headlands where the greatest possible eclipse in Ireland can be seen,ƒŠare given in the attached document
ƒŠƒŠ More details about the eclipse, including any last minute updates,ƒŠwill beƒŠon the IAA website www.irishastro.org.ƒŠ
DON'T BELIEVE ALL YOU READ IN THE PAPERS: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2994195/Next-Friday-morning-Britain-turn-day-night-time-century-great-eclipse.htmlƒŠ How can they get it so wrong!?
ƒŠIn the graphic, the Moon is shown moving Left to Right instead of Right to Left.ƒŠ
ƒŠAND they show the eclipse as a TOTAL for England.ƒŠ
ƒŠAs for their advice on eclipse glasses - how can you use them WITHOUT looking at the Sun??? Doh!!!"
ƒŠƒŠƒŠ Request: Eclipse viewing in L'DerryƒŠ(From Prof Mark Bailey, Armagh Observatory)
WeƒŠare doing an outreach event at St Cecilia's College, Londonderry, timed to coincide with the partial eclipse of the SunƒŠon Fri 20th morning; and then a performance of "aroundNorth" that evening in a nearby housing estate in the same part of Derry, from around 7pm to 9pm.ƒŠI was wondering whether any IAA members might be able/willing to travel to the site (particularly in the evening) to provide telescope-viewing
opportunities that evening (if clear) to complement the aroundNorth event.ƒŠWe could provide some financial assistance through the provision of a small mileage payment at the usual rate of 45p per mile.
ƒŠƒŠ If there are any IAA members in that area who would be prepared to help out with this event, please contact Prof Bailey directly at mebarm.ac.ukƒŠ
