Northern Lights Set to Illuminate UK Skies This Weekend
Aurora Expected to be Visible from Scotland, Northern England, and Northern Ireland
The northern lights, or aurora borealis, are set to illuminate the skies across the United Kingdom this weekend, according to scientists. The celestial display is expected to be visible by eye from Scotland, northern England, and Northern Ireland on Saturday evening into Sunday.
The aurora is caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's magnetic field. These particles create a colorful glow in the sky, which can range from green and red to purple and blue.
The best time to see the aurora is during the dark winter months, when the skies are clear and there is little light pollution. The UK Met Office has issued an aurora alert for this weekend, indicating that there is a high chance of seeing the lights.
