Personal Space is an Art-Science collaboration by artist Emer O Boyle and astronomers Lorraine Hanlon, Martin Topinka and Rob Simpson and was developed as part of the GLORIA project - the worlds first free and open access network of robotic telescopes.

With Personal Space you can see what part of the night sky was directly overhead at any significant moment in your life. You can see where your personal space or significant life moment has overlapped with other's in the night sky. Your space may even have overlapped with some of the political and historical events that we've added to the gallery.

As the earth rotates and follows it's orbit around our sun, our view of the stars continually changes.

GLORIA is a project funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2012) under grant agreement number 283783.
