A light cloud cover that moved in overnight blocked most from seeing the partial solar eclipse in Millstreet this morning. While most of us saw nothing other than it geting a little dark, the photo below taken by Jordan at Drishane View shows that it did at least make a brief appearance.
There are a few more photos of the eclipse by Jordan. Many thanks to him for sharing the photo with us.
We had wall to wall sunshine yesterday, a clear starry night until about 3am when the clouds started to move in. At 9am we could see blue skies to the south in West Cork which was very annoying 
Today’s eclipse was a 92% eclipse.
Tom has a nice photo of what the rest of us experienced in a photo from Rathcoole Bridge.

The next partial eclipse will happen at 7:13pm on August 12th 2026 (path above), and at it’s nearest point will pass just to the south west of Ireland and will be a 97% eclipse, better than today and hopefully with better weather!

A total eclipse will then be seen in Cork and Kerry only in 2090 … probably won’t be seeing that one!
