🇬🇧 NORTHERN LIGHTS TO DAZZLE UK SKIES
The British government indicated much of northern England’s night skies may be defined by colourful shades of the northern lights this evening and on Saturday.
Met office’s space weather manager, Krista Hammond:
“While short nights at this time of year will limit the visibility window, if conditions are right there’s a good chance of sightings on Friday night.
Aurora visibility may persist through Saturday night, but as it stands this is likely to be less widespread than on Friday night with northern parts of the UK most likely to continue to have the best viewing potential.”

Texans, if your looking for the clearest view, the Panhandle may be the best option to view the lights with the naked eye.
There is a low chance of visibility in Dallas, but there is still a chance.”
