The exact timing of the eclipse will vary slightly depending on where in Ireland you are watching it from.But in Dublin the phenomenon starts at 8:24am, and runs until 10:36am. The peak of the eclipse will be reached at 9:28am ... astrophysicists from Trinity College Dublin and other foreign institutions will also travel with an Air Corps maritime patrol aircraft out into the Atlantic Ocean to an area where a total eclipse will be visible, in order to study and take scientific images of the event. In particular they will be interested in viewing the corona – the outer atmosphere of the Sun. ... The Norwegian Arctic islands of Svalbard are one location. But the residents are discouraging last-minute visitors, saying its hotels are full, it will be freezing cold and polar bears are on the prowl!
