A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is expected to arrive today, giving increased geomagnetic activity and potential Aurora sightings 🤩 The best chance of seeing the lights will be across Scotland where skies are clear and the Aurora is strongest

A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that left the Sun late on the 22nd November is expected to arrive this evening and overnight #Aurora may become visible across parts of northern Scotland and similar latitudes, dependent on the exact timing of the arrival of the enhancements

Some of us could end Boxing Day with a glistening sky display ✨ The aurora may be enhanced tonight due to a coronal hole high speed stream and a coronal mass ejection Northern Scotland, plus perhaps central and southern Scotland, may see the aurora in any clear intervals

There is an expected enhancement in solar activity later on today, lasting overnight This could mean that there will be another chance to see the aurora tonight, where clear spells develop across Scotland and perhaps parts of northern England

Geomagnetic storms may bring a chance to view the aurora overnight on Thursday into Friday, most likely across Scotland and Northern Ireland but possibly further south if conditions are favourable and where skies are clear

There is a growing chance of seeing the northern lights over the coming few nights, especially Thursday night Aurora may be visible where skies remain clear across Scotland, as well as potentially as far south as Northern Ireland, north Wales, northern and central England

Although geomagnetic activity is not expected to be as strong tonight, there’s still a good chance of aurora sightings, especially across the northern half of the UK There could be some visibility further south, especially with long-exposure cameras

The Perseid meteor shower peaks tonight and viewing conditions will generally be good, with clear skies for many of us and perhaps as many as 100 meteors every hour 🌠 A coronal mass ejection from the sun may also given an enhanced chance of seeing the aurora in northern areas

Keep an eye out as there is a chance of seeing the northern lights over the next couple of nights 🎇 Sightings are most likely across Scotland where skies are clear but perhaps into northern England too 🌜

Through this evening and overnight, aurora sightings are possible over northern Scotland and potentially over much of Scotland where skies remain clear ✨ There is perhaps a chance further south too, with long exposure photography 📷

With plenty of clear skies in the forecast, there is a good chance of seeing the Aurora across the northern half of the UK, and perhaps further south with long exposure photography 📷 However, as the nights are shorter, the duration of any sightings may be limited ✨

There's a chance of seeing the #aurora tonight, possibly as far south as the Midland and Wales ✨ Most likely though, the #northernlights will be visible for Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland, where clear skies allow 👇

The arrival of a CME this evening could allow for some Aurora viewings under clear skies across Northern Ireland and Scotland ✨ But an almost full moon and intermittent cloud cover may limit viewing potential 🌔

👀 You may see the northern lights this evening and overnight due to a Coronal Mass Ejection Despite it's imminent arrival there's considerable uncertainty and it may only glance Earth. If it arrives, aurora could be spotted as far south as northern England if skies are clear.

All eyes to the north tonight 👀 A Coronal Mass Ejection is forecast to arrive on earth, potentially giving opportunities to see the Northern Lights. Strong auroral activity is possible in northern Scotland, but even southern England could catch a glimpse in any cloud breaks.

A combination of fast solar winds and the recent arrival of a Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun, could lead to the #aurora being seen tonight, especially across the north of the UK

BREAKING – A significant Earth-directed solar flare and associated coronal mass ejection (CME) just occurred on Friday evening. There is an increasing chance of geomagnetic storms and the potential for a display of the aurora borealis (northern lights) sometime Sunday night into Monday. A "solar flare" is a flash of light and radiation flickering into space. They emanate from sunspots – bruise-like discolorations on the surface of the sun that throb and pulsate with energy. That just occurred associated with sunspot #4100. The flare was a magnitude M8.2; M is one step below X, the highest category. An M8.2 is very close to X-class status. It was followed by a "full halo CME", or coronal mass ejection. That's an explosion of magnetism and solar material that surfs a shockwave through space. We call it a "full halo" because – when it's pointed directly at Earth – it looks like a halo. When CMEs, or coronal mass ejections, arrive at Earth, the electromagnetic energy is absorbed and dissipated by Earth's magnetic field. That energy is transformed into visible light – the aurora. I'll have updates once more information becomes available.

A moderate geomagnetic storm currently in progress means there is a chance of aurora sightings across central and northern parts of the UK tonight Forecast cloud cover and rain however may limit viewing opportunities

Today a coronal mass ejection launched from the Sun towards Earth and the northern flank is expected to impact us around July 28th. Here is the awesome visualizer used:
