Brightest comet of the century visible in Irish skies for the next week

The brightest comet since Hale-Bopp a quarter century ago will blaze through Irish skies for the rest of the month. The comet first arrived in Irish skies on Monday morning at 2am but is rising a half an hour earlier every night and will be visible all night from Monday. Neowise has already been photographed by many astronomers in the Irish sky. Mr Flannery added: “The comet is visible all night at present but lowest on the northern skyline around midnight. Members of the Irish Astronomical Society are going to Howth Head tonight to view comet Neowise.
