VIEW GALLERY. Ireland is to be temporarily plunged into darkness next month by a near-total solar eclipse. Over 90% of the sun will be obscured during the astronomical event, which will be visible from Ireland on March 20, 2015.
The next eclipse is September 1, 2016, an annular solar eclipse visible from the southern tropical regions of Africa and Madagascar. The new moon will pass directly in front of the solar disk on September 1, but the moon will lie too far away from Earth in its orbit to completely cover over the sunâs disk.
