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

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

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

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.

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 .

It was like Ł500 and we've used it twice in 5 years .
