The UK has seen some amazing light shows as a geomagnetic storm with Sun coronal mass ejections has caused the beautiful phenomenon
A weather expert has said that the UK could get a third night of northern lights as another geomagnetic storm erupted. The skies have been filled with eerie green and pink bands of light with it being visible, especially on Friday night, over the whole of the UK.
“Therefore, there may be another UK-wide showing of the aurora borealis on Sunday night - cloud permitting.” And he later added: “Geomagnetic activity will increase again today, however, as with last night, peak activity may not coincide with darkness. Scientist group AuroraWatch UK issued a yellow alert this morning saying the phenomenon could be visible with the eye in some areas and with camera equipment more widely. AuroraWatch UK is a free service offering alerts of when the aurora might be visible from the UK. It is run by scientists in the Space and Planetary Physics group at Lancaster University’s Department of Physics.
