Look out for the Northern Lights!!

[Oliver_W]

Apparently the Aurora Borealis will be visible in some parts of the UK from around 9ish, due to a solar storm reaching the Earth!!!

[Vanessa]

Omg how exciting. Will have a look later.

[LaLaLand]

Do you know where in the UK you can see them most? Probably not here (Wales). :sad:

I might have a look ,but doubt I'll see anything.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Apparently there's the CHANCE they'll be visible all over, but up North is the most likely!!

[Cherie]

Anyone have any luck?

Define luck

[GoldHeart]

Anyone have any luck?

I actually forgot to look , but I don't think I would have seen anything .

[James]

Apparently it might be visible in the UK tonight and tomorrow (Monday).

I prefer the Diamond Lights

Clouds over London
Could stop that

i've seen it in St Petersburg, it doesn't get better than that. It's like a sunny day at 1am :laugh:

A few of my workmates saw it last night - I didn't know to be looking!

Did see Jupiter and Venus very bright and clear earlier in the evening though. My wife's just got a new phone (s23 ultra) and the zoom on it managed to capture both as clear "planets" (little globes) which was fascinating on a phone camera! We do have a "proppa" telescope but I can never be arsed setting it up.

Too far south I think

Jupiter and Venus around 6pm last night as I walked the pooch round the block , I have a bog standard iphone, would have been incredible though a telescope

Yeah that was my thoughts - usually with the "naked eye" (or naked phone) planets just look like very bright stars, but caught on phone camera last week you could clearly make out the light/shadow detail of them being little spheres.

Like I said still not enough to over-ride my laziness, and our telescope remains in the dusty cupboard :joker:.

It was like £500 and we've used it twice in 5 years :umm2:.

Only central Scotland can see the sky tonight but out in the SW at the moment is Jupiter and Neptune very bright

In Scotland and northern England you may be able to spot the #Aurora Borealis tonight, though there will be too much cloud for most

Clearer skies tomorrow night mean there will be a greater chance for some good views


Cloudy here tonight.

I saw it tonight, but it was faint compared to when I saw it previously.

[UserSince2005]

I’m too busy looking for cock tonight. Plus I’m in the southern hemisphere.

[MTVN]

Seen some brilliant pics of it over Bristol last night

Sadly I was in bed by 10pm and missed it all :skull:

[Ammi]

…my son texted me this morning to see if we had seen them as well and we completely missed them, ughhhhh….

[AnnieK]

I didn't know you could see them last night and my Facebook feed is full of my friends pics. Gorgeous.

My son is on a cadet camp this week on the moors and I hope they had them see them as it probably would have been amazing where they are
