Irish stargazers are in for a rare treat this weekend as the conditions for catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights are highly favourable. According to Astronomy Ireland founder David Moore, there is a strong possibility of a 鈥渂ig aurora鈥� that could cause a spectacular display of dancing curtains of light in the sky tinged with reds and greens.

The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, are an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon that occurs when radiation from the sun interacts with the Earth鈥檚 magnetic field. While they are a common occurrence in the Arctic region, they can be seen as far south as Ireland only about 1% of the time.

However, this weekend, stargazers across Ireland may be in for a rare treat as a particularly strong explosion on the sun is likely to cause an exceptional light display. Pinpointing the exact time that the lights will occur can be challenging, but according to Moore, the optimal time will be between midnight and 3 am when the sky is at its darkest.

Moore suggests that those living in towns or cities should try to get out or at least head to the north side for the best view. However, he also recalls one incredible Northern Lights display he saw in Dublin several years ago, proving that even city residents can witness this natural wonder.

For those hoping to witness this rare event, it is best to find a location with a clear northern horizon. Donegal and Mayo have provided great results in the past, but it is not necessarily because of their location. The lack of buildings, trees, mountains, or city lights creates an unobstructed view of the sky, making it easier to see the Northern Lights.
