Aurora borealis shines in UK skies after geomagnetic storm

Vivid colours of the Northern Lights – or aurora borealis – were spotted on Tuesday night across Scotland.

A solar storm strengthened the aurora bringing it southwards towards the United Kingdom.

While solar activity remains elevated, there is a chance of seeing the Northern Lights again tonight, mostly in the north of the UK.

Although, there could be quite a bit of cloud restricting the view for some.
