🌌 Heads Up, Wales! 🌌
Get ready for a rare spectacle! Tonight, the magical Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, might just light up our Welsh skies. Thanks to a powerful coronal mass ejection from the sun, this natural light show could be visible from parts of the UK, including Wales.
The Met Office has issued a ‘red alert’, so with some clear skies, you might catch a glimpse of this dazzling display. Usually best viewed from northern latitudes, the North Lights have the potential to dazzle us here as they extend further south during such solar events.
Wondering what’s causing this? When the sun gets excitable, it releases charged particles that hit Earth’s magnetic field, creating stunning light displays. And right now, we’re in an active solar phase, increasing our chances of witnessing this beauty.
If you’re hoping to see the aurora tonight, head out into the darkness and look north. Let’s hope for clear skies and a stunning celestial show. Share your photos if you catch it! 📸✨
