The lunar eclipse of January 2019, often called a Super Blood Wolf Moon or variations to that effect - still scientifically called a lunar eclipse - as seen from Ireland.

Earth passes through the dust and debris left by the comet Swift-Tuttle as it travels through our solar system on its 133-year orbit around the sun. As the small particles enter Earth's atmosphere they burn up approximately 80km above the surface of our planet. In doing so they create bright, colourful streaks across the sky. If it is night time and if the moon isn't bright like this year then the Perseids are a wonderful sight.

The GPO or General Post Office (Ard Oifig an Phoist) is an iconic building in Dublin, and a place that almost all visitors have heard of and all Dubliners reference as a meeting place.

Interestingly it was designed by the architect Francis Johnston who came from Armagh, the other Georgian city of Ireland.
