Space watchers in the UK and the USA say there is a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights tonight.
The Met Office has issued a G4 storm watch which means the aurora might be seen across the UK - a lower level G3 storm would see them being visible as low as mid Wales and the Midlands."Aurora sightings are likely across Scotland and Northern Ireland, perhaps across northern England, with a slight chance of sightings across parts of the Midlands or the south of England where skies are clear.
"The auroral oval is then expected decline later on October 12, with sightings becoming limited to Scotland. Thereafter aurora sightings are unlikely, apart for perhaps across the far north of Scotland at times, where skies are clear." The alerts follow the sighting of a massive coronal mass ejection from the surface of the sun a few days ago. The electrically charged particles are heading towards the Earth's magnetic field at around 2.5 million miles per hour, say scientists.Shropshire coaching inn with restaurant hopes to pull in the buyers as it goes on the market for £1 million
