Star gazers will have the chance to see part of a solar eclipse this evening.
The moon will pass in front of the sun at around 7:55 pm, blocking out most of it's light for a time.
The rare celestial event hasn't been seen in Ireland this century, with the last occurring back in 1999.
The full eclipse is visible from the US, Canada and Mexico.
Dave Moore from Astronomy Ireland outlines what's in store:
"There will be partial eclipses, a part of the sun gets covered by the moon. Day doesn't turn to night but you can see a bite taken out of the sun and that's what we're going to get. Depends where you are, if you're on the east coast the sun will set earlier that if you're on the west. So, you'll see more in the west."
