  • The most ...

    The most comprehensive overview of the astronomical and mythical significance of Newgrange and the Irish ancient sites is given in the book "Island of the Setting Sun - In Search of Ireland's Ancient Astronomers", which has just been republished as a revised and expanded edition. This acclaimed book is written by Anthony Murphy and Richard Moore.

  • Did you know the ...

    Did you know the solstice sunrise was webcast this morning?? It was a beautiful cold, crisp morning in the Boyne valley and the beam in the chamber was very clear. It is on again to-morrow (08.00 GMT) but the weather forecast is not good.
    I am trying to locate a vid of todays stream, I missed some of the webcast.
