The colourful display may be visible again above Merseyside
The Met Office has forecasted a rare opportunity to see the stunning Northern Lights tonight - and the auroral displays could be spotted from Merseyside. According to the report, a geomagnetic storm is taking place today, July 24, and a large part of the UK could be in for seeing the Northern Lights again this year. Auroral displays occur when charged particles collide with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere around the magnetic poles.
photographer Colin Lane captured some incredible images of the Northern Lights in Crosby at the time. Upon seeing the Aurora, Colin said: 'It's mega guys, what a night...insane colours.'
