Everyone in Northern Ireland will be able to see a fairly rare event early on the Thursday morning, if the sky is clear.
Those times will vary slightly depending on your location in Northern Ireland – the further west you are, the earlier it will happen. So start looking no later than about 04.45 to be safe. Apostolos Christou, a Research Astronomer at Armagh Observatory and Planetarium, told Belfast Live: “Mars is set to disappear behind the Moon for one hour this coming Thursday morning. People who are out and about at 6am will be able to see an amber-coloured Mars next to the Moon.
