"Join the Quest: Dublin Residents Asked to Contribute Northern Lights Photos!"

Dublin residents are invited to contribute Northern Lights photos for an extensive archive, initiated by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies in response to recent geomagnetic storms in Ireland.

• The Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies is collecting photos of the Northern Lights to create Irelands largest archive of aurora images, showcasing the countrys rare celestial events.
• In May and October 2024, intense geomagnetic storms allowed the Northern Lights to be visible across Ireland, prompting interest from both amateur and professional photographers.
• This citizen science initiative encourages participation from locals particularly in Dublins dark-sky locations, enhancing public engagement with space weather phenomena and contributing to scientific research.
