The Met Office has issued an amber alert - meaning there is a 'possible chance' - for geomagnetic activity in the skies above the UK
The Met Office has given a glimmer of hope to stargazers, stating there's a 'slight chance' the Northern Lights could be visible in parts of the UK on Friday night . This comes after last Friday's spectacular display left many households hoping for another opportunity to witness the awe-inspiring aurora.
Coronal mass ejections are large explosions of plasma and magnetic field from the Sun's outermost atmosphere. The Met Office noted it observed two strong flares, as reported by The Mirror.This forecast coincides with an amber alert issued by AuroraWatchUK, run by scientists at the Planetary Physics group at Lancaster University, indicating a 'possible chance' for geomagnetic activity in the UK skies.
If you're hoping to catch a glimpse of the aurora in the UK during a severe or extreme storm, there are a few things you'll need. Firstly, it needs to be a clear night with no cloud cover. The distance to the aurora belt means it can be difficult to see clearly with the naked eye, and it often appears much brighter in photographs.
