Here’s how to see Newgrange’s winter solstice- from your couch
We all learned about Newgrange in history class (and a few of us had to draw it a million times for art) but how many of us have actually been lucky enough to witness the phenomenon itself on Winter Solstice?
During this special time of the year, sunlight floods the inner chamber of the passage tomb in Meath, illuminating the manmade cavern.
The Neolithic structure is an architectural an historic marvel, and now everyone with an internet connection will be able to witness the big event.
This year's winter solstice will be streamed live at 8.30am tomorrow and Thursday.
'This year, you too can feel the excitement as people gather at this world heritage site,' reads Ireland's Ancient East.
'Experience the wonder, as out of the morning’s darkness a single ray of light illuminates the passage tomb on the shortest day of the year, marking the end of winter and the start of new life.'
'A few moments of magic…5,000 years in the making!'
History buffs, it's time to get the popcorn ready.
