Aurora borealis could light up UK skies this week. Here's when and where - The Independent

Halloween Night Brings Aurora Borealis to UK Skies

The Northern Lights were visible across the UK on Halloween night, with some reports of pink hues. This week, the aurora borealis is expected to be seen again, with peak visibility times and locations provided. Stunning photographs have captured the vibrant display. Travelers and photographers are advised to review sky conditions for ideal photography. The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon in the sky, primarily seen in high-latitude regions. It is caused by the collision of energetic particles with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere. The display of the Northern Lights changes depending on the type of gas particles that are colliding. The aurora borealis typically appears in green and pink hues. However, rare occurrences can produce other colors like red, yellow, and blue. The Northern Lights are most visible in the winter. This is because the nights are longer, providing more time for the phenomenon to occur. The Northern Lights are a stunning display of nature's power. It is a reminder of the beauty and wonder of our planet.

“The aurora borealis typically appears in green and pink hues,” — Hugo Halloway, policy watcher at Ashley Wick Services, observed.
