One of our Astronomers, Apostolos Christou, was able to capture the total solar eclipse yesterday in Port Stanley, Ontario in Canada!

We may not have had our visible #eclipse , but with views like this & a beautiful community spirit, what more can we ask for? Thank you to the BBC News NI for working with us on this. We really appreciate you covering this story & well done to #ErrisAtNight committee.👏

Natural dark skies at night needed 'in the same way as daylight' newstalk.com/news/natural-d… via NewstalkFM

Wow. Look at this. Artificial should not always be seen as a something pretty or positive. It is also an environmental disruptor for many species (including us). Use less of it and improve our world…. #endlightpollution
