Irish-Italian Team Captures Solar Eclipse Data | Dublin News

Irish and Italian scientists pulled off a stunning aerial solar eclipse mission off Ireland’s coast, flying a specially equipped C295 plane to capture critical data during totality. After dodging clouds for hours, they snagged a clear 1 minute 50 seconds of viewing—enough to gather optical, infrared, and green-line images that could unlock why the sun’s corona is so much hotter than its interior. The stable new aircraft helped, and the team, including Professor Peter Gallagher, is already thrilled with early results. This mission echoes Ireland’s historic 1919 role in proving Einstein’s relativity—showcasing a proud legacy of Irish science chasing cosmic answers from the skies.
