On Tuesday the 17th of march it was St. Patricks day. I along with many others celebrated the day by watching the the Dublin parade.... on tv. Tourism Ireland had famous landmarks across the world turned green to promote Ireland abroad on St. Patricks Day.
What other Country in the world can do this? Have countries willingly turning their famous landmarks green to celebrate our festival? our holiday? Have towns all around the world host a St. Patricks day parade?
Ireland was experiencing a partial solar eclipse this morning, although clouds have covered the sky so it's not very visible in most parts of the country. It is said that it is most visible at the Blackrock Castle Observatory in Cork city. It is not reccommended to look directly at the eclipse as it can cause eye damage and blindness. The last solar eclipse happened 16 years ago and the next is expected in 2026. If you want to view the eclipse is by using special eclipse glasses, or a pinhole projector.
