The aurora borealis were seen as far south as Essex in what was described as a 'stunning' display
The Northern Lights has lit up the night sky with rare sightings across the country. The Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, has been spotted in Whitley Bay on the north east coast, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Wokingham in Berkshire.
Kathleen Cunnea, in Great Horkesley, Essex, said: “It was absolutely stunning to see.” The visibility of the Northern Lights was increased on Friday because of an “extreme” geomagnetic storm, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration . The NOAA said the lights could be seen as far south as Alabama and southern California in the US. Met Office spokesman Stephen Dixon said on Friday there was a good chance for the Northern Lights to be seen.
“Those conditions could continue on Saturday night but we still have to work out some details on where exactly that will be.” Mr Dixon said the combination of clear skies and enhanced activity from the sun reaching Earth would improve the chances of seeing the display. Aurora displays occur when charged particles collide with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere around the magnetic poles.
