The Northern Lights could be seen again on Saturday night
The Northern Lights could once again grace the skies over the UK tonight, with stargazers and night photographers poised for another potential display.
While the forecast suggests that the intensity might wane by today , the aurora is expected to remain visible tonight and increasingly more so in the days ahead. Sightings are likely from the northern regions of the UK and possibly further south if conditions permit. Met Office spokesperson Stephen Dixon said there was potential for another display following Friday night's show. He said: "Although the shorter nights will limit the visibility window, there's a good chance to see the aurora, particularly on Friday night and especially in Scotland, Ireland and parts of northern England and Wales."
Krista Hammond, the Met Office's space weather manager, echoed the sentiment for favourable conditions, particularly for those in the north. She stated: "Multiple coronal mass ejections from the sun are expected to reach Earth in the coming days bringing the potential for aurora visibility over the UK, particularly on Friday night."
