8 months agoHow and where to see Northern Lights tonight after dazzling display above UK skies
A powerful solar storm meant the Northern Lights were visible across parts of the UK and Ireland overnight, with them possibly being visible again on Tuesday. The solar phenomenon is typically most visible in the auroral oval - a ring of light around Iceland and the polar caps - although it can sometimes be witnessed in the North. Only under rare and more severe space weather conditions can the lights be seen throughout the whole of the UK.
