ONE OF THE nice things about living in this country is the occasionally amazing night skies we get.
Artist Madeleine Weber captured one particularly stunning sky over Ballinskelligs in Kerry recently. Enjoy.

Ha ha Noël…Gonzo is the “class clown” here…but I’m guessing you’ve spotted it already!
Beautiful. Thank you Madelene Weber for sending this in and The Journal for posting it.
The first time I realised you could see the Milky Way from Ireland was when we went to the Ring in Clonakilty for a midterm break. It was jaw-droppingly beautiful.
I couldn’t believe it myself, first time that I saw it with my own eyes. There are 5 ( ; days per year and you will see the univers enfolding above ireland
amazing. Well done :)
Clonakilty is stunning yes but have you considered cape clear or sherkin island? Was in cape last summer and cos there are no street lights to ruin the starlight it is simply beautiful! I remember just sitting in the middle of the road at 2 am gazing up at the beautiful starlit sky…. All for free to!
Madeleine I post your wonderful photos of Kerry on fb and my connection s in America England and Australia rave about them
Good work !
Thank you – I always hope that the beauty of ireland reaches many
It’s the beauty of the solar system surely?
If your going to be pedantic cutsie it’s the beauty of the milky way.
The first time I saw the milky way in all its glory, is when we hiked from Glencree to Knocavana in Wicklow, I was about 10, magical. It was amazing , clouds of stars. This truely is a beautiful country that offers that most unexpected of scenes.
When you have lived in an area that has massive light pollution, like a town, the first time you actually get to see the Milky Way for yourself is truly jawdropping.. Awesome in the true sense of the word.
Madeline , congratulations and well done , it looks amazing , a sign of good things to come..
Is it not just a clear sky?
No shit, Sherlock.
Well elucidated point, Keelan. No use but well expressed.
ahh ffs,
where ya based?
If its the city/town, good luck in star-gazing.
No sh¡t sherlock is no surprises here, just sayin…barrel o craic y’are.
Beautiful experience Madeline, you have had the privilege, thanks for sharing :)
What you see rising in the sky first is Jupiter. Through a telescope it looks amazing. You can see all Jupiter’s features. What’s even more impressive through a telescope is Saturn
Don’t drink Murphy.

You don’t get it do you?? Thick!!
have your say
