Slim chance for northern lights in some states due to ‘high speed stream’ from Sun

  • The Northern Lights are expected to be visible across the UK, potentially dazzling stargazers tonight and this Sunday.
  • Increased solar activity over the past month, including the arrival of the Blood Moon and a lunar eclipse, has heightened the possibility of seeing the aurora.
  • A coronal mass ejection expected to arrive on March 23rd may bring visible aurora to Scotland and possibly parts of Northern England, contingent on clear skies, with a continuing chance of sightings in northern Scotland throughout the week.
  • According to the Royal Museums Greenwich and astronomer Tom Kerss, solar storms emit electrically charged particles that travel millions of miles, some of which collide with Earth, become captured in the magnetic field, and are directed towards the poles, exciting atmospheric atoms and molecules to create the aurora.
  • While the best viewing locations are typically in polar regions, heightened solar activity can make the aurora borealis visible in the UK as far south as Cornwall and Brighton, provided there are dark, clear nights with minimal light pollution.
