Cork’s Rare Near-Total Solar Eclipse | Limerick News

Cork is set to experience a rare, near-total solar eclipse in just two weeks — the biggest in Ireland since 1999, with up to 96% of the sun blocked. Peaking at 7:13 PM, this once-in-a-generation event won’t be total, but it’s the most significant eclipse visible from Ireland until 2090. Experts and the Munster Technological University are preparing big, handing out 6,500 free certified eclipse glasses and hosting public viewings at Blackrock Castle Observatory, Tramore Valley Park, and Bell’s Field on Sept. 12. Safety first — regular sunglasses won’t do — so grab your glasses ahead and join Cork’s “Eclipse Capital” for a truly unforgettable sky show.
