Stargazers 'might be lucky enough' to glimpse Northern Lights in Ireland 
irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41360902.html
Stargazers 'might be lucky enough' to glimpse Northern Lights in ...
Quick Glance: Northern Lights Potential Display Over UK Tonight
  • The Met Office has announced that the Northern Lights could be visible across northern parts of the UK tonight. This phenomenon, also known as Aurora Borealis, usually appears above Iceland and Norway but is rarely visible from the UK, mostly limited to Scotland.

  • According to the Met Office, a combination of fast solar winds and the recent arrival of a coronal mass ejection from the sun could trigger a display from Sunday evening to Monday morning. The Northern Lights are created by particles from the sun carried on solar winds interacting with the Earth's atmosphere after being directed to the polar regions by the planet's magnetic field.

  • Different gases have varying effects on the color of the display. Green signifies solar particles interacting with oxygen, while purple, blue, or pink hues are a result of nitrogen. Only under 'severe space weather conditions' can the lights be visible throughout the UK - even then, stargazers require a clear sky and reduced light pollution.
