On an August evening in Cork, a brewery became a place of preparation — not for a journey across land, but across the sky. With Ireland days away from witnessing over 95% solar obscuration, astrophysicists gathered at Franciscan Well to offer something rarer than the eclipse itself: accessible wonder, freely shared. The event reminds us that the great celestial moments belong not to specialists alone, but to anyone willing to look up.
Yay Cork
